RM 085: 2021 Reliability Matters Episode Wrap-Up

RM 085: 2021 Reliability Matters Episode Wrap-Up

2021 Reliability Matters Episode Wrap-Up

Welcome to this special edition of the reliability matters podcast. unlike other episodes, this episode has no guests. At the time of this recording, we have 85 published episodes with more than 16,000 downloads. The reliability matters podcast began as an experiment. I figured we would produce about 10 episodes on various subjects and then move on to something else. Well, I was wrong. I have received countless emails from listeners thanking me for the podcasts stating how much they enjoy listening. The thank you goes more appropriately to my guests. Without them, I would simply be another talking head. And who needs more of those? While my goal was to provide educational material for the electronics industry, perhaps it is me that has learned the most. I am so fortunate to be able to speak to and learn from so many subject matter experts. I would like to take a few moments to thank my guests on this final episode of the 2021 season of reliability matters.

Bob Doetzer – IPC Training and certification
Christopher Frederickson – Solder Paste Inspection
Miles Moreau _Thermal Profiling
Paul Salerno – Solder Paste
Matt Kelly – IPC Technical Conference
Dr. Stan Rak
Dr. Bev Christian
Cheryl Tulkoff and Greg Caswell – Their new book: “DESIGN FOR EXCELLENCE IN ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING”
Dave Trail – Industry 4.0
Tanya Martin, Greg Vance, Dr. Rayio Aspandiar, and Richard Coyle – SMTAI Technical Conference
James Kovacevic – Maintenance Reliability Training

Dave Hillman – Causes and Possible Remedies for Solder Voiding
Dr. Eric Fossum – Inventor of the CMOS Image Sensor (who kicked off the 2021 season).

I am extremely grateful for all of the listeners and subscribers of the reliability matters podcast. Obviously, without you, we would just be broadcasting into a huge void. Thank you for your support, comments and episode suggestions, and dedication to this podcast. We live at the moment in very strange times. many of us have been in an extended period of lockdown unable to attend technical conferences. I hope this podcast and it’s content have helped to fill the educational void caused by this global pandemic.

I would also like to think Mike Buetow of circuits assembly magazine for syndicating this show on his PCBchat.com podcast. I would also like to thank Fred Schenkelberg at Ascendo Reliability for syndicating this show on reliability.fm.

In January of 2021, we introduced an additional platform for this podcast. In addition to our traditional audio podcasts, we launched the reliability matters YouTube channel. Now, you can listen to this podcast in your car or on the treadmill, or watch it on your laptop, phone, or tablet. Don’t miss an episode. Subscribe to the audio podcasts on apple podcast, Google podcasts, Spotify, IHeartRadio, or wherever you get your podcasts. You can also watch this podcast on the reliability matters YouTube channel. If you missed any of the episodes from the 2020 or 2021 season, they are available on your favorite podcast app or on our YouTube channel

I wish all of you the happiest of holidays and a safe, prosperous, and healthy new year. I’ll see you again in January for the premier off the 2022 season of the reliability matters podcast.

RM 084: A Conversation about Solder Paste Inspection with Christopher Frederickson

RM 084: A Conversation about Solder Paste Inspection with Christopher Frederickson

A Conversation about Solder Paste Inspection with Christopher Frederickson

Today, we’ll be discussing Fit for Use solder paste inspection. As I’ve repeated several times on this show, it is said most reliability problems begin at the printer. Our industry utilizes a lot of materials in order to produce a circuit assembly. If the materials, specifically the solder paste is out of spec, that can effect reliability. Unfortunately, in most cases, one can not simply open a jar of solder paste and easily determine visually if the solder paste their applying to the stencil is fit for use, or if it has gone bad, or is out of spec.

My guest today will discuss what solder paste fit for use means, and how we can provide methods for determining its fit for use right on the production floor. My guest also, on a completely unrelated topic, but maybe even more interesting, has experience in wearable electronics in temporary tattoos. You subject that’s the first question I’m going to ask him about!

A Conversation with Thermal Management Expert Miles Moreau

Miles Moreau is KIC’s General Manager, has been with KIC for nearly three decades. He draws his deep and rich expertise from managing multiple business units across four continents spanning operations, field service, and sales and marketing channels. His expertise is in thermal management and that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about today.

We’ve discussed how to profile a board on this show. Today, we’re going to talk about profiling an oven and a wave soldering machine, and how, when done correctly, may reduce the number of times one has to attach thermocouples to a circuit board and run it through an oven or wave soldering machine.

RM 075: Matric Group’s Patrick Stimpert on Lean Manufacturing with a “Lean-In” Philosophy

Matric Group’s Patrick Stimpert on Lean Manufacturing with a “Lean-In” Philosophy

EMS provider Matric Group’s Patrick Stimpert incorporated the Toyota Production System’s Lean principles into his contract manufacturing business. Patrick states “Results are Important. How do I get my results? With the use of the Toyota Production System’s Lean principles and my simple rule “don’t waste time rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, go fix the problem”. I believe in the “LEAN-IN” processes and gain improvements through RIPs (Rapid Improvement Projects) These projects are based on a standard of identifying problems, brainstorming solutions, attempting those solutions, and adjusting from there. “If we are going to fail, we are going to fail fast and cheap.”
