Alpha Presents Technical Papers at SMTA China East Technical Conference 2016
April 11, 2016 | Alpha Assembly SolutionsEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
Alpha Assembly Solutions will present two technical papers “The Effect of Solder Paste Reflow Conditions on Surface Insulation Resistance” and “Characterization and Optimization of Board Warpage for Linear LED Lighting Assemblies” at SMTA China East Technical Conference 2016 in Shanghai, China.
The first paper is “The Effect of Solder Paste Reflow Conditions on Surface Insulation Resistance”. As known, electrochemical reliability is a fundamental requirement for every circuit assembly. Surface insulation resistance is a globally accepted standard for predicting the electrochemical reliability of printed circuits. Therefore, this paper will attempt to measure how the reflow profile used in an SMT process affects the electrical reliability of three no-clean solder paste residues.
The second paper is “Characterization and Optimization of Board Warpage for Linear LED Lighting Assemblies”. Board warpage in fiber-glass epoxy laminate boards known as “FR” boards, is familiar phenomenon seen in traditional electronics manufacturing. The growth of the LED general lighting market has propelled the usage of high-aspect ratio boards where the length is significantly greater than the width FR type boards for a variety of applications. A significant percentage of these boards are adopted for linear lighting applications where warpage of the PCBs is most commonly seen. This paper will present a structured study to characterize the effect of warpage “bow” driven by different assembly process conditions on FR circuit boards with two dissimilar glass-transition properties designed as high aspect ratio linear lighting strips.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—The Pre-Manufacturing Process
05/08/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI have been working with Nolan Johnson on a podcast series about designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. By sharing lessons learned over a long career in the PCB industry, we hope to shorten learning curves and help designers produce better boards with less hassle and rework. Episode 2 deals with the electronic pre-manufacturing process. Moving from CAD (computer-aided design) to CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) is a key step in PCB manufacturing. CAM turns digital designs into instructions that machines can use to actually build the PCB.
