Tinning is the process of dipping electronic component terminations into a bath of molten solder alloy, creating a fresh inter metallic layer between the solder and the base metal and providing a highly solderable surface finish. Solderability testing is designed to determine how well molten solder will flow, or “wet”, on the solderable surfaces. This article explains the differences between the two and when each of the tests should be used.
U.S. Tech - December 8, 2015
The purpose and use of solderability vs. tinning services often causes confusion, even within the electronic component testing industry. This article explains the difference and when each process is appropriate.
EE Times Europe - December 14, 2014
The sophistication of some counterfeit components requires the use multiple test methods to differentiate the counterfeit from the authentic. Different components require different testings and procedures. Use of the wrong testing procedures for the type of component can result in false positives, incorrectly identifying authentic parts as counterfeit.
U.S. Tech - October 21, 2014
Improper counterfeit component testing procedures can yield incorrect or misleading results. This article describes the correct solvent testing procedures for different types of electronic components.
Test & Measurement World - August 28, 2012
Counterfeit electronic components are an increasing threat to the supply chain, but there is no single test that can detect all counterfeit parts. This article outlines why it is necessary to create a customized test plan—including a full suite of electrical testing—for each component based on its intended use.
U.S. Tech - May 15, 2012
The quality and sophistication of counterfeit electronic components has increased to the point that these fake parts can pass initial inspection protocols. This article explains how NJMET's counterfeit component test program uses a multilevel inspection process to weed out counterfeit components.

US Tech - October 1, 2009
Thanks to a groundbreaking program created at NJ Micro Electronic Testing, Inc. (NJMET), the imitation electronic devices that began infiltrating the industry close to a decade ago can now be detected and stopped. It's important that this happens before they are used in the manufacture of products that could put many projects and hundreds of thousands of lives in danger. The multi-faceted process used to identify counterfeits is described.

In recent years, much useful methodology has been developed to predict the life of electronic microcircuits using environmental accelerated steady state life testing. Such testing has been of particular importance in the to the plastic microcircuit arena, which has become increasingly important because of the reform mandated by Secretary of Defense William Perry in 1994 under the Blue Print for Change objective. Such acceleration testing experiments can be vital in predicting the operational future and functional performance of either hermetically sealed or plastic encapsulated microcircuits.
Aerospace Testing - May 1, 2003
Life testing of electronic microcircuits at higher stress levels than design conditions can yield results more quickly saving time and money. Data obtained from accelerated life testing, when properly modelled and analysed yields valuable information on product life and performance under normal use.
Evaluation Engineering - May 1, 2000
Cutbacks instituted by the Department of Defense diminished military and aerospace manufacturing of hermetically sealed microcircuits (HSMs). As a result, these industries have reconsidered the use of commercial plastic encapsulated microcircuits (PEMs). This article discusses the reliability tests that are essential for determining if PEMs can be safely used in harsh environments.
