The Cleaning of Electronic Assemblies…from A to Z!
Tuesday, March 26, 2013 circuit board cleaning, cleaning electronic assemblies, electronic assemblies cleaning, electronic assemblies cleaning machine, PCB cleaning, PCB Cleaning machine 0
From ACI Technologies
The ACI Technologies Free Workshop Series continues, featuring Alpha, Aqueous Technologies, HumiSeal and Zestron.
Discover key elements needed for a successful PCB cleaning process, discuss cleaning technologies, ROSE testing, the latest industrial equipment and conformal coatings.
Specifically, these four leading companies will share insights on the following:
Alpha: Choosing solder paste and flux types.
Aqueous Technologies: Quantifying the cleaning operation utilizing ROSE testing and achieving the lowest cleaning and defluxing cost per assembly.
HumiSeal: Conformal coating for better PCB reliability.
Zestron: Why clean? Trends, reliability and failure mechanisms.
A panel discussion will answer all questions at the conclusion of the presentations.
Date: Choose either Wednesday, April 3rd or Thursday, April 4th from 8:30am to 4:45pm
RSVP: Katie Riggan by phone at 610.362.1295 or via email to registrar@aciusa.org
Location: ACI Technologies, Inc.
1 International Plaza, Suite 600

Giga S automatic component counter inventory and verify SMD counts on taped reels with alert for missing parts
Giga S motorized desktop component counter with Pocket Check missing part detection quickly and accurately counts taped SMDs down to 0201 chip size, with the ability to alert the operator or skip over it when an empty tape pocket is found. For guaranteed accuracy, Giga S confirms its results by counting through in one direction, then reversing for a second count. Giga S can be used with SMD tapes from 4 mm to 72 mm wide on 7" or 13" reels. Pitch is adjustable through the digital control panel. Giga's DC stepping motor allows it to count 5,000 SMDs in as little as 40-50 seconds. The Pocket Check can run in two modes: The machine can be set to stop and alert the operator of an empty pocket with an audible beep, or it can skip over the pocket, simply excluding it from the count. |
|
The system's built-in counting memory allows a target quantity to be set. When the target is reached, the system stops and beeps to alert the operator. (Beep volume is adjustable.) If a label printer is connected, Full Auto Count mode can be used, which automatically prints out a label for the counted components. Either a barcode or ribbon printer can be connected to the machine, in addition to a USB barcode scanner, to assist in inventory control. Giga S includes a carrying handle for portability. An optional foot switch allows hands-free operation. |

Conformal Coating Inspection
Thursday, March 7, 2013 ACI Technologies, technical tips 0
From ACI Technologies
In the field of electronics manufacturing, the end use of the product will always dictate the processes, procedures, and methods, not only for building the product, but also for testing, cleaning, and protecting the assembly in order to assure the level of quality required for proper operation. The need to protect an electronic assembly from its end use environment may stem from any one of a number of hazardous (or potentially hazardous) conditions. Choosing the type of protective material is dependent upon matching that material's characteristics with the conditions to be overcome. Naturally, the use of a protective (conformal) coating will require some method of verification to ensure the desired level and type of protection is achieved.
There are a variety of reference documents providing specifications for conformal coatings. The intent of this article is to give an overview of inspection methods and considerations when using such coatings in the course of manufacturing an electrical or electronic product.
The five general categories of conformal coatings are:
- Type AR-Acrylic Resin
- Type ER-Epoxy Resin
- Type SR-Silicone Resin
- Type UR-Polyurethane Resin
- Type XY-Paraxylylene (also referred to as Parylene)
When establishing manufacturing processes which includes the application of a conformal coating, it is recommended that the coating be qualified in regards to physical characteristics including (but not limited to), shelf life, cure time, viscosity, fungus resistance, flexibility, flammability, dielectric withstanding voltage, and thermal shock.1 (Note: for details on verification methods of the above characteristics consult IPC-TM-650, ASTM D-1084, and UL 94 HB.)
Once the type of coating has been established, qualified, and incorporated into a process, it is necessary to continually verify quality conformance. It is important to check the material for physical appearance, fluorescence, thickness, and full cure.
The IPC J-STD-001D specifies that conformal coatings must be fully cured and homogeneous. Also, because the intent of conformal coating is to provide an immediate barrier to a harsh environment, the standard specifies that conformal coating must be free of blisters, breaks, cracks, voids bubbles, mealing, peeling, wrinkles, or foreign material which would expose conductive surfaces to the environment.2 Physical appearance can be easily verified by visual inspection. Magnification may be used up to 4X.
When conformal coatings contain a UV tracer (dye), inspection can be performed using an ultraviolet (UV) light source (Figure 1). This becomes a valuable tool for verifying complete coverage and any specified areas that should be free of conformal coating (such as electrical contacts).
Figure 1: Image of a board under UV illumination with conformal coating only on the lower portion (purple area).
The specifications for thickness of a conformal coating vary depending upon the type of coating used. The J-STD-001D specifies 0.03-0.13 mm for types AR, ER, and UR, but requires a thicker coverage of 0.05-0.21 mm for SR types. Because it is the most resilient, Paraxylylene is only required to have a thickness of 0.01-0.05 mm.3
The thickness of the coating can be measured in a number of ways, but most of the methods used fall into one of two general categories.
- Dry film method: Measurement using a micrometer (or indicator accurate to 12.5 ± 2.5µm)4, made on a test coupon of the same type of material as the printed board or may be of a nonporous material such as metal or glass. Such measurements are to be made on a flat, unencumbered, fully cured surface of the printed circuit assembly or a test coupon.5
- Wet film method: This alternative method measures the coating while it is still wet (before curing has been completed) and provides for calculations that will indicate the thickness after curing has been completed. This method is preferred when a dry film method is not practical or would be destructive.
For more details on methods and processes regarding the application and measurement of conformal coatings, ACI Technologies offers the IPC J-STD-001D course, as well as the IPC 7711/7721 Rework and Repair course.
