iNEMI’s PCBA Cleanliness End-of-Project Webinar

Reading time ( words)

iNEMI’s PCBA Cleanliness project looked at the impact of cleanliness on PCBAs with bottom-terminated components (BTCs). Using single-row QFN component packages as a representative example of a BTC on a multi-quadrant test board, the team utilized clean and no-clean solder pastes and conducted various levels of cleaning (no-clean, water clean and solvent clean). This was followed by surface insulation resistance (SIR), ion chromatography (IC) and other testing to determine the trade-offs between electrical performance, ionic contamination levels, and cleanliness.

Join the PCBA Cleanliness project team to review the results of their work. Two sessions are scheduled, and the webinar is open to members and non-members. Registration is required.

Graham Naisbitt of Gen3 discusses the changes he's seeing in cleaning, including how the WP-019 white paper has caused a closer look at electrochemical reliability. As a long-time head of committees, Graham also breaks down many of the topics he hopes are addressed at this year’s IPC APEX EXPO.

Tom Forsythe, executive VP of KYZEN, discusses what readers should know about cleaning as reliability expectations continue to increase. He also explains what is driving the new interest in cleaning and why engineers from the no-clean generation may not even realize they need to learn more about cleaning.
