Mike Konrad will present a live webinar entitled “Improving Reliability of Circuit Assemblies in Harsh Environments” on Tuesday, February 5, 2019.
With the rapid expansion of IOT, many circuit assemblies are now functioning in unfamiliar environments, many of these environments are harsh. Additionally, many new electronic applications control critical systems such as automotive electronics. This webinar focuses on the influence contamination plays on reliability of circuit assemblies, particularly when operated in harsh environments. Several contamination-related failure mechanisms will be presented including electro-chemical migration (dendritic growth, parasitic leakage) and conductive anodic filament (CAF). Methods to determine how clean is clean enough will be discussed.
This webinar is part of Aqueous Technologies non-commercial Tech-Tuesday educational events and is offered free of charge. Registration is now open here: https://bit.ly/2Dk8DQI
Mike Konrad is the founder and CEO of Aqueous Technologies, is an SMTA Distinguished Speaker and is the host of the Reliability Matters podcast available on iTunes.
