Microtek Laboratories China Adds High-Tech Reflow Oven for Automotive and Transportation Reflow Simulation Testing
June 26, 2018 | Microtek Laboratories ChinaEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Microtek is proud to announce the addition of a 13-zone, active-cooled, Heller reflow oven at its Changzhou, China facility to accomplish reflow preconditioning for test samples. Automotive and Transportation Reliability testing requires aggressive reflow preconditioning cycles prior to reliability testing that demand a 13 zone oven with active water cooling to accomplish properly.
The new reflow oven is also equipped to use an inert nitrogen environment for reflow that protects the soldermask and surface finish from degradation due to oxidation during reflow exposure. Microtek’s commitment to Automotive and Transportation testing also includes the use of 10 thermal shock chambers equipped for "Single Hole" or "Daisy Chain" reliability testing along with 28 humidity and HAST chambers equipped with 256 channels of CAF/ECM/SIR testing capability up to 2000VDC.

Designer’s Notebook: What Designers Need to Know About Manufacturing, Part 2
04/24/2024 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe printed circuit board (PCB) is the primary base element for providing the interconnect platform for mounting and electrically joining electronic components. When assessing PCB design complexity, first consider the component area and board area ratio. If the surface area for the component interface is restricted, it may justify adopting multilayer or multilayer sequential buildup (SBU) PCB fabrication to enable a more efficient sub-surface circuit interconnect.

Heavy Copper PCBs: Bridging the Gap Between Design and Fabrication, Part 1
04/01/2024 | Yash Sutariya, Saturn Electronics ServicesThey call me Sparky. This is due to my talent for getting shocked by a variety of voltages and because I cannot seem to keep my hands out of power control cabinets. While I do not have the time to throw the knife switch to the off position, that doesn’t stop me from sticking screwdrivers into the fuse boxes. In all honesty, I’m lucky to be alive. Fortunately, I also have a talent for building high-voltage heavy copper circuit boards. Since this is where I spend most of my time, I can guide you through some potential design for manufacturability (DFM) hazards you may encounter with heavy copper design.
Trouble in Your Tank: Supporting IC Substrates and Advanced Packaging, Part 5
03/19/2024 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite or carbon dispersion are quickly gaining acceptance worldwide. Indeed, the environmental and productivity gains one can achieve with these processes are outstanding. In today’s highly competitive and litigious environment, direct metallization reduces costs associated with compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. What makes these processes leaders in the direct metallization space?
