Dr. Jennie Hwang to Present on Package/Board Level Integrity & Solder Joint Reliability at IMAPS 2017
September 27, 2017 | Dr. Jennie S. Hwang, H-Technologies GroupEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Industry expert Dr. Jennie S. Hwang will leverage her decades of extensive real-world experiences and deep knowledge to present on package and board level integrity, as well as solder joint reliability, at the upcoming IMAPS 2017 symposium, to be held from October 9–12, 2017 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
With the goal to produce reliable products while achieving high yield production, this short course provides a holistic overview of product reliability and of critical players of the package/board level integrity and solder joint reliability, including the roles of materials, processes and testing/service conditions, as well as the crucial principles behind the product reliability. Recent developments related to lead-free solder materials and the prevention of PCB laminates issues, tin whisker and intermetallics-related concerns in relation to manufacturability and reliability will be outlined.
The short course emphasizes on practical, working knowledge, yet balanced and substantiated by science. Interactions are encouraged, and attendees are welcome to bring their own selected systems for deliberation.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
