WHAT WE DO
We work on the physical design, reliability and failure analysis of electronic components, solder joints and circuit-board assemblies.  We
provide expertise in the assessment of both standard tin-lead (SnPb) and lead-free (Pb-free) solder joint reliability.  What is this about?

We help our customers meet the reliability requirements of electronic packages and circuit-board assemblies.  To that effect, we offer:
Consulting Services    Training Programs    Software Tools   Technical Support & Retainer Services   Expert-Witness Services

HOW WE DO IT
No hype, no unsupported claims...
We provide hard data, test plans and analysis along with recommendations for problem-solving or product improvements.  We maintain
and grow one of the largest databases of solder properties, reliability models and failure data in the electronics industry. Our  Solder
Reliability Solutions (SRS) software is one of the most widely used solder joint life prediction program in industry
- see Independent Reviews and Users' Comments .
Q4 2020

    Electronic products marketed in the European Union, mainland China and a growing number of areas, must now meet lead-free
    requirements.  Are you concerned about lead-free reliability?  Give us a call or sign up for our upcoming seminars or webinars.
