Eight temperature profiles were used for reflow soldering. In contrast to other studies, almost the identical value of the heating factor was achieved by the different shapes of the profiles in order to evaluate the effect of the whole profile shape. Consequently, the metallographic cross-sections of the solder joints were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. Additionally, the shear strength test of solder joints and the transition resistance measurement were conducted. As expected, the intermetallic layer thickness increased with an increasing heating factor, but a different thickness was observed for the identical heating factor when the whole shape of temperature profile including the preheating phase was changed. On the other hand, the prediction of IMC growth based on heating factor can be used in situations, where only the melting phase varies and the preheating remains constant - but the influence of the heating factor on intermetallic layer thickness cannot be generally formulated for a specific solder alloy due to a strong dependence on the flux.","PeriodicalId":6674,"journal":{"name":"2019 42nd International Spring Seminar on Electronics Technology (ISSE)","volume":"26 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72727423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The thermistors where printed of modified nickel-manganite paste and sintered at 850 °C/10 min in the conveyor furnace. The uniaxial anemometer was formed using segmented thermistor as a heater/sensor and the housing made of thermo-insulating material; the thermistor was placed in the cylindrical cavity of the housing along the main axis. After that, segmented thermistor was self-heated at constant DC voltages in power save regime. The thermistor power save regime was introduced using duty cycle ratio 30 s/300 s (thermistor self-heating/cooling period). The constant DC voltages were changed in steps related to the air temperature sub-ranges. The thermistor self-heating current I30 in 30th second of the cycle was measured as a response to wind velocity at different angles of wind blowing and at different air temperatures (calibration curves). The use of reductors enabled moderate slope of calibration curves and extended measuring range.

With an increasing power loss of electrical components, the thermal performance of is gaining more attention on the PCB-level. The application of relatively thick Cu cores in PCB modules is beneficial with respect to high levels of ampacity and heat dissipation. Applicable PCB designs require a more or less complex structure and/or arrangement of several cores. For instance, gaps between several Cu cores are demanded for highvoltage applications, while cavities may be of a certain advantage when additional components need to be integrated on a high level. In our work, we investigated the reliability using repeated thermal shocks of PCB test vehicles featuring cavities within Cu cores of 2 mm thickness. After 1000 cycles the specimens do not show any significant damage which may result in an operational failure. Additionally, we investigated deliberately introduced defects at the Cu-resin interface by means of thermography.","PeriodicalId":6674,"journal":{"name":"2019 42nd International Spring Seminar on Electronics Technology (ISSE)","volume":"14 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77542553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research is based on previous work, where the dependence of dielectric strength of 3D printed objects on printing resolution (the thickness of one layer) was examined. Four polymer materials designated for FFF were chosen for the experiments - ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), PET-G (polyethylene terephthalate - glycol modified), ASA (acrilonitrile styren acrylate) and PP (polypropylene). The following tests of the printed samples from such materials were conducted - atmospheric impulse test with positive polarity, short-term AC and DC breakdown strength tests and measurement of partial discharges. Based on acquired results, the optimal material for unipolar stresses (DC and impulse) is PP, whereas for bipolar stresses it is a close match between ABS and PET-G. For systems in which all three types of stresses occur, ASA seems to be the best compromise. Although the dielectric strength of the examined 3D structures is sufficient, an improvement of these materials would be proper, for example by adding admixtures to the base materials or better printing quality.","PeriodicalId":6674,"journal":{"name":"2019 42nd International Spring Seminar on Electronics Technology (ISSE)","volume":"19 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81487088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
