Solutions for the most DEmanding applications
 

INVENTEC offers a broad range of assembly materials specially formulated to enhance the reliability of applications exposed to harsh environments, including Military/Aerospace, Automotive, Rail and Power Electronics.

 

INVENTEC assembly materials  are designed to meet the performance and legislative challenges challenges challenges of evolving technology, with MINIATURIZATION serving as a common trend. Today's PCBs feature higher densities and narrower spacings between tracks and pads, causing dendritic growth by electrochemical migration to become a big issue.

 

The purpose of the Bono test is to assess the corrosive nature of solder pastes and to quantify it by a corrosion factor [1]. INVENTEC's R&D and application teams have teamed together for over a decade to develop high reliability ECORELTM solder pastes and ECOFRECTM soldering fluxes. The improvement to control the risk of electrochemical corrosion has been achieved using the Bono test as key technique to probe CHEMICAL RESIDUE IS INERT after soldering.

 

Conformal coatings are increasingly required to protect the PCB from environmental conditions (temperature, moisture, dirt, etc.). The Bono test better differentiates the nature of solder paste residues and is a very good parameter for assessing the compatibility between the solder paste and the conformal coating. The same method can also be performed for liquid and

tacky fluxes. ECORELTM No-Clean solder paste range is compatible with a

large range of conformal coatings available in the market.

Defluxing of solder paste or flux residues after die attach, flip chip or SMT reflow process to improve performance of wire bonding, underfill and conformal coating.

 

MINIATURIZATION means reduction of solder pads, smaller components with lower stand off and also amount of flux residues accumulated in tight, difficult access areas. In addition, new components are included with higher capacities and functions: capacitors, diodes, quartz, MEMS, microBGAs, LEDs and others. Miniaturization and advanced packaging should not become a challenge for reliability. The cleanliness should be performed and pass the norms

 

INVENTEC provides a range of water and solvent based cleaning chemistries to achieve best defl uxing results.
