Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3

06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone Pile
Tin 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.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability

06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 Magazine
In printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.

Breaking Silos with Intelligence: Connectivity of Component-level Data Across the SMT Line

06/09/2025 | Dr. Eyal Weiss, Cybord
As the complexity and demands of electronics manufacturing continue to rise, the smart factory is no longer a distant vision; it has become a necessity. While machine connectivity and line-level data integration have gained traction in recent years, one of the most overlooked opportunities lies in the component itself. Specifically, in the data captured just milliseconds before a component is placed onto the PCB, which often goes unexamined and is permanently lost once reflow begins.
