Solder joint faults can be described with a single word – pernicious. Solder joints connect the BGA package, containing an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) core, to the PCB (Printed Circuit ...

In the run-up to pv magazine’s quality roundtable at Intersolar Europe, we look at a case where a production error resulted in cold solder joints in 5% of the solar ...

The National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, Middlesex, has built an instrument to test lead-free solder joint properties. Long-term joint deformation caused by sustained force is one of the ...

The PILOT 6 software for AOI systems from GOEPEL electronic enables 3-D inspection of solder joints on chip components and IC pins. The data of the surface topography, generated by the integrated ...

Intermittent problems with electronic modules or circuit boards are often the result of a cold-solder joint. Cold-solder joints are quite common in remote-keyless-entry fobs, electronic ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract This paper reviews the physics-of-failure model for accelerated thermal cycle tests of solder joints associated with various electronics ...
