Abstract:
Over the years, numerous incidents of failed solder joints have occurred to electronic equipment at JPL and contractor facilities. The problem was traced to thermal cycling of conformal coatings.
The lesson recommendations pertain to prediction of the thermal cycling environment, application of conformal coatings, packaging design reviews, and packaging design and fabrication processes, procedures, and documentation.
