Characterization of PCB plated‐through‐hole reliability using statistical analysis
Mark J. TardibuonoVarious test methods are used to characterize PCB plated‐through‐hole reliability. One such method is the interconnect stress test. The results from this test are often used to…
Commercial applications of digital printing technologies on PCBs
Hans FritzThe PCB industry is quickly gearing up for the digital printing age. While photo imaging and screen‐printing have been commonly used as recognized and established techniques in…
Design considerations for thin‐film embedded resistor and capacitor technologies
Percy Chinoy, Marc Langlois, Raj Hariharan, Mike Nelson, Anthony Cox, Tony RidlerEmbedded passives technologies can provide benefits of size, performance, cost, and reliability to high density, high‐speed designs. A number of embedded passive technology…
Immersion tin: a proven final finish for printed circuit boards providing reliable solderability and marginal formation of tin‐whiskers
Peter MeehThis paper describes a state‐of‐the‐art process for immersion tin plating of PCBs which is used to preserve solderability prior to assembly. The process sequence is described and…
The origins and evolution of the PCB: a review
Kirstie Petherbridge, Peter Evans, David HarrisonMany people believe that Eisler invented the printed circuit board (PCB) in the mid‐1930s, but the origins actually lie nearly before 50 years this. If this is true then who…
