iNEMI’s PCBA Cleanliness End-of-Project Webinar Two Sessions Scheduled
October 3, 2019 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Join iNEMI to review the findings of PCBA Cleanliness project, which looked at the impact of cleanliness on PCBAs with bottom-terminated components (BTCs), with particular focus on ionic contamination levels. Using single-row QFN component packages as a representative example of a BTC, the team utilized clean and no-clean solder pastes and conducted various levels of cleaning (no-clean, water clean and solvent clean). They then conducted testing using methods such as SIR and ion chromatography in an effort to understand functional performance when residues are present underneath these packages.
Join the PCBA Cleanliness end-of-project webinar to review the results of this study. Two sessions are scheduled (October 7 & 8). The webinar is open to members and non-members; registration is required.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
