Ontrack With Judy Warner

Quality and reliability are a big deal when designing PCB for assembly. Our guest Tony Lentz, Chemist and Field Applications Engineer at FCT Solder will bring us to the PCB manufacturing space while tackling solder beyond basic thermodynamics and composition. Listen or watch through the end. This is a great opportunity for PCB designers to learn about soldering products that are used for printed circuit board assembly. Episode Highlights: Introduction to Tony Lentz, his background, and role as a Chemist and Field Applications Engineer at FCT Solder Tony talks about how they work with their clients to achieve best quality when manufacturing their PCBs Diving into the chemistry side of things, Tony tackles about how the blending of different metal alloys, additives, and different inter-metallics to that solder joint composition, the pads, and the components can affect the overall reliability of the PCB With the automotive industry’s growing electronic demands, thermal testing cycles are expanding aggress
