AIM’s Carlos Tafoya to Present at SMTA Guadalajara Expo & Tech Forum 2019
October 1, 2019 | AIMEstimated reading time: 1 minute
AIM Solder has announced that Carlos Tafoya, Technical Support Director, will present the white paper “Weak Organic Acids—Detection and Reliability Assessment” at SMTA Guadalajara, scheduled to take place on October 23-24, 2019 at Expo Guadalajara in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
Weak Organic Acids (WOA) are a common component of no clean liquid flux. These acids provide the cleaning and etching capabilities required to prepare surfaces to accept solder. They are also a source of chemical contamination that can cause electrical and corrosive failures on circuit assemblies. The ability to assess the risk of flux residue after soldering in the production environment is a challenge for assemblers and flux manufacturers alike. In this study the accuracy of common residue extraction methods and a comparison of electrical and soldering performance of common WOAs are performed to illustrate the challenges associated with flux residue assessment as it relates to reliability.
AIM will also highlight its full line of advanced solder materials, including its award-winning REL61 and REL22 high reliability alloys and new cored wire solders, RX18 and CX18. To discover all of AIM’s products and services, visit the company at the SMTA Guadalajara Expo & Tech Forum in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico in Stand # 409 for more information and to speak with one of AIM’s knowledgeable staff members.
