Trouble in Your Tank: Interconnect Defect—The Three Degrees of Separation
10/01/2024 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankIt has been well documented that, with a very expensive and complex printed circuit board, thermal and mechanical excursions often find weaknesses. A lack of robustness and poor process control often leads to the exploitation of those weaknesses. An interconnect defect (ICD) often goes undetected until the printed circuit board reaches the final assembly stage or undergoes multiple thermal cycles, including interconnect stress tests or thermal shock. It is impossible to rework the ICD defect. But unlike voids, if detected in time, the panels can be reprocessed.
