Koh Young Presenting at Upcoming SMTA Technical Forums
March 2, 2020 | Koh Young AmericaEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

In support of the SMTA and its local chapters, Koh Young will be presenting on March 19, 2020 at the events in Dayton, Ohio and Anaheim, California. Based on its award-winning portfolio of inspection and smart factory solutions, Koh Young selected two different technical presentations encompassing the solder paste inspection (SPI) and automated optical inspection (AOI) processes.
At the SMTA event in Anaheim, Allen Phung, Regional Sales Manager for Koh Young America will present on how True 3D AOIs can improve production quality. Over the years, AOI systems have become an integral solution for the electronics manufacturing industry, but not all machines make the grade. For example, component miniaturization poses significant challenges to that true 3D-based systems can overcome. The SMTA LA/OC has scheduled this event to begin at 6:00PM PST in JT Schmid's Restaurant at 2610 East Katella Avenue in Anaheim, California. Be sure to register at www.laocsmta.org.
The second event will be held by the SMTA Ohio chapter at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio on 19Mar. The full day event will help attendees extract value from SPI, AOI, and other inspection technologies in a roundtable presentation format. Isaiah Smith, Regional Sales Manager for Koh Young America will introduce attendees to True 3D SPI and explain its essential role in manufacturing high quality electronic boards. “With my production background as a Process Engineer at EMS providers in New England and my experience with a leading printer supplier, I am eager to share my unique insight about how SPI can improve manufacturing yields,” said Isaiah. “Many manufacturers simply use SPIs for pass/fail defect review. Few are actually performing data analysis.” After this presentation, attendees will understand that using parametric data from SPI can help them characterize, optimize, and validate the print process. Register today at the at SMTA Ohio Valley chapter website accessed through www.smta.org.
If you cannot attend either event, you can still learn more about Koh Young and its best-in-class portfolio of True 3D smart factory solutions, powered by AI at www.kohyoung.com.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
