STI's Marietta Lemieux to Present at Harsh Environments Conference
February 20, 2018 | STI Electronics, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
STI Electronics Inc. Analytical Lab Manager Marietta Lemieux will present at the Electronics in Harsh Environments Conference, which is scheduled to take place April 24–26, 2018 in Hoofddorp (Amsterdam), Netherlands. The conference will focus on building reliable electronics used in power electronics and harsh environments.
As the manager of STI's Material/Failure Analysis Lab, Lemieux has an extensive background in residue analysis of electronic assemblies. Lemieux will share her knowledge of residue analysis in her presentation, "Does Extraction time in Ion Chromatography affect the Concentration of Ionic Species?"
"Marietta's knowledge of processing residues for electronic assemblies, and in particular, her experience with Ion Chromatography, allows STI to maintain its leadership position in the industry," said Mark McMeen, Vice President, Manufacturing/Engineering Services.
Lemieux oversees the many facets of STI's Analytical Lab and assists customers with the selection of the appropriate service needed from the Analytical Lab. Using the resources in the Analytical Lab, Lemieux has the capability to identify unwanted damage or stress from both external and internal sources, as well as analyze the best possible and least destructive means of correcting the issues at hand.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
