BANNOCKBURN, IL – A group of leading solder vendors today issued a statement asserting “no evidence” exists demonstrating voiding has “any significant impact” on solder joint reliability.
In a statement, Karl Seelig, chair of the subcommittee that issued the report, stressed its findings on Pb- free voids. “Based on the comparison of the number and size of solder joint voids to thermal cycle interconnection failure date, there is no evidence that solder joint voiding has any significant impact on solder joint reliability."
San Francisco, CA - Design Chain Associates and EPTAC Corp. will continue its one-day seminar series, "Thriving in a RoHS/WEEE Environment," throughout the U.S. in 2006.
