Industry-leading associations IPC and SMTA jointly announce the High-Reliability Cleaning and Conformal Coating Conference, scheduled to take place October 25-27, 2016 at Hyatt Rosemont, Rosemont, Illinois. The conference is focused on best practices for designing, cleaning and coating highly dense electronic assemblies to assure reliability in today’s mobile society.
Session 2 on Wednesday, October 26 will focus on “Cleaning Materials, Machines, Rinsing and Process Control.”
- Umut Tosun, M.S. Chem. Eng., Application Technology Manager at Zestron America, will focus on Power Electronics Cleaning using a pH Neutral cleaning agent.
- Mike Konrad, President at Aqueous Technologies, will focus on the critical rinsing step along with keys to successful cleaning.
- Jody Saultz, Application Engineer at Speedline Technologies, will focus on cleaning equipment needed to clean high density interconnects and bottom terminated components.
- Ram Wissel, Technology Manager at Kyzen Corporation, will present a case study on process control to assure a reliable cleaning process.
- Jigar Patel, Ch.Eng., Senior Application Engineer at Zestron America, will present a case study on process control and optimization.
Come learn about these valuable lessons and more at the IPC/SMTA Cleaning and Conformal Coating Conference.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
