Aqueous Technologies’ Mike Konrad to Present Live Webinar
January 18, 2019 | Aqueous TechnologiesEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
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.

Standards: The Roadmap for Your Ideal Data Package
05/29/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineIn this interview, IPC design instructor Kris Moyer explains how standards can help you ensure that your data package has all the information your fabricator and assembler need to build your board the way you designed it, allowing them to use their expertise. As Kris says, even with IPC standards, there’s still an art to conveying the right information in your documentation.
High-frequency EMC Noise in DC Circuits
05/29/2025 | Karen Burnham, EMC UnitedEMC isn’t black magic, but it’s easy to understand why it seems that way. When looking at a schematic like that in Figure 1, it looks like you’re only dealing with DC signals all across the board. There’s a 28 VDC input that goes through an EMI filter, then gets converted to 12 VDC power. Except in extremely rare circumstances involving equipment sensitive to magnetostatic fields, DC electricity will never be part of an EMC problem.
