New iNEMI Project on High Density Interconnect Socket Warpage Prediction
December 14, 2022 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
High density interconnect sockets are becoming larger, which creates challenges for socket warpage simulation and can impact SMT assembly yield and reliability. Expedited computation that maintains the required level of accuracy is needed to shorten socket design cycles.
Phase 1 of iNEMI’s High Density Interconnect Socket Warpage Prediction and Characterization project established an analysis and validation framework for socket development, conducted simulation experiments, and initially investigated the impact of socket design, fiber filled material properties and molding process conditions on socket warpage.
Phase 2 will focus on improving socket warpage simulation accuracy and speed, further investigating the impact of molding and design on socket warpage, and will ultimately establish guidelines for dynamic socket warpage measurement and prediction. If you are involved in socket design and development, board assembly and/or reliability, this project will be of interest to you. Please join us to learn more on January 5 or 6. The deadline to sign up for the project is February 17, 2023.

Discover the New Podcast Series on Thermal Management—Now Available
02/27/2025 | I-Connect007In this premiere podcast episode, Ryan Miller of NCAB breaks down why thermal management is a must for PCB designers. What are the main causes of excess heat in our designs today? Why does it matter? And how can designers keep their boards cool under pressure?
Elementary, Mr. Watson From Classroom to Career—Bridging the Gap in PCB Design Talent
02/27/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonHas anyone else felt we're doing more with less in our industry and we constantly need more and better talent? Although we are in the middle of what I consider the golden age of the PCB industry in terms of innovation, we still don’t have the necessary talent to fill positions. We need to take a serious look at our industry, figure out how we found ourselves in this position, and what we can do to turn the situation around.
Global PCB Connections: How Technology Can Level the Playing Field
02/25/2025 | Jerome Larez -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsTechnology can help us all become equal by leveling the playing field. It doesn’t matter where you build PCBs because the rules of physics are universal. There are several ways global standardization helps when it comes to working together to create the best possible products.
The Knowledge Base: Challenges and Considerations of Harsh Environments
02/26/2025 | Mike Konrad -- Column: The Knowledge BaseIn today’s rapidly advancing technological landscape, electronic assemblies are increasingly being deployed into environments that push their design and material limits. From the corrosive atmospheres of industrial facilities to the extreme temperatures and humidity of outdoor applications, harsh environments present a significant challenge to the reliability of electronic devices. This column explores the key issues impacting electronics reliability in such conditions, including electrochemical migration (ECM), corrosion, and the role of residue tolerance in assembly design.
