Printed circuit boards and their assemblies (PCB & PCBA) are the core components of electronic products, and their reliability directly determines the overall reliability of electronic products. To ensure and enhance the quality and reliability of electronic products, it is essential to carry out comprehensive physical and chemical analyses of failures, identify the underlying failure mechanisms, and then propose corresponding improvement measures. MTT possesses profound technical expertise in board-level failure analysis, a complete range of analytical methods, a vast database of case studies, and a team of experienced experts, providing you with high-quality and efficient failure analysis services.
The purpose of electronic component failure analysis is to employ a variety of testing and analytical techniques and procedures to identify the failure phenomena of electronic components, determine their failure modes and mechanisms, identify the ultimate root cause of failure, and propose recommendations for improvements in design and manufacturing processes. This helps prevent the recurrence of failures and improves the overall reliability of the components.
The continuous rise in complexity and performance requirements of integrated circuits, combined with potential risks across design, manufacturing, packaging, and application stages, has led to frequent occurrences of critical failure modes such as short circuits, open circuits, leakage, burnout, and parameter drift. These issues not only result in costly device scrapping and system downtime but also often trigger disputes over responsibility among designers, foundries, packaging and testing houses, and end-users, causing significant economic losses and reputational risks.
The performance requirements for polymer materials continue to rise, while differences in understanding of high-demand products and processes between customers and suppliers often lead to frequent failures such as fracture, cracking, corrosion, and discoloration. These failures frequently cause disputes over responsibility and result in significant economic losses.
The increasingly harsh service environments of metal components place higher demands on material performance and structural reliability. However, factors such as design flaws, material defects, manufacturing deviations, or improper use can readily trigger typical failures including fatigue fracture, stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen embrittlement, creep, wear, and overload deformation.

Flame Retardant Test

The flame retardancy of materials refers to the ability of materials or products to undergo flame combustion under specified test conditions. It includes some characteristics related to whether it is easy to ignite and whether it can maintain the ability to burn. After years of development, flame retardancy testing has formed multiple standards and become a very important testing item in the relevant industry.

Flame Retardant Test

| Project Background

 

The flame retardancy of PCB combustion is a core indicator for ensuring the safety of electronic devices, which is directly related to fire prevention and personal safety. Global mandatory certification systems (such as UL/IEC/GB) require PCBs to pass standardized combustion tests to verify the flame spread resistance of the substrate under high temperature or open flames. With the popularization of halogen-free environmental protection materials and the application of high-density PCBs, accurately monitoring the effectiveness of flame retardants and preventing the risk of carbonization during reflow soldering have become an unavoidable technological need in the industrial chain.

 

 

| Project Overview

 

This project classifies the flame retardancy levels of PCB samples according to core standards such as UL 94 and GB/T 2408 (horizontal/vertical combustion) through key steps such as controllable ignition, measurement of afterflame/afterglow time, and observation of droplet behavior.

 

 

| Test Objective

 

1. Provide the flame retardancy level of materials;

2. Conduct in-depth diagnosis of the causes of flame retardancy failure;

3. Establish an enterprise flame retardancy database.
