Pb-Free Alloy Alternatives
BiSn-Based Low-Temperature Soldering Process and Reliability
The purpose of this project is to assess the surface mount processibility and reliability of the solder joints formed when enhanced BiSn-based solder pastes are used for assembling electronic components on printed circuit boards.
Characterization of Pb-Free Alloy Alternatives, Phase 1
Characterization of Third Generation High-Reliability Pb-Free Alloys
This initiative is a follow-on to the Pb-Free Alloy Alternatives Project. The project team is now working on characterization of Pb-free alloy alternatives, with two main thrusts: (1) characterize the thermal fatigue and acceleration behavior of alternative alloys through accelerated thermal cycle testing, and (2) develop a set of test data requirements that will allow OEMs and others to evaluate alloy properties against their requirements.
Connector Reliability Test Recommendations, Phase 3
This project proposes a proof-of-concept of the methodology defined in Phases 1 and 2, inclusive of defining a test vehicle and evaluating its response to the proposed test framework.
PCBA Materials for Harsh Environments, Phase 2
Phase 2 of the project plans to develop a common test vehicle(s) to accurately reflect typical DUT (device under test) modules, and to validate or develop pass/fail criteria. Additionally, this phase will review standards and test methodology requirements for PCBA materials in other industry sectors that also require high reliability and durability in harsh environments, such as aerospace.
