Abstract:
A composition and method for the removal of ionic salt deposits from a surface using an organic solvent of low polarity and a complexing agent. The complexing agent is chosen from a group which includes podands, cryptands, and coronands. The method provides nearly complete removal of ionic salt deposits with a single washing of the surface with the low polar cleaning mixture.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a process which makes it possible to greatly improve the insulation resistance between conductors on a printed-circuit board having a layer formed by electroless copper plating, and hence it provides a printed circuit board with extremely high reliability. According to the process, a printed-circuit board is formed by forming a metal coating film on a resin board by electroless plating after activation, etching the metal coating film, thereby forming printed conductors, and etching at least the exposed surface of the resin board which is not covered by the printed conductors.
Abstract:
After the etching away of copper to selectively expose surface areas of insulating material in a printed circuit process based upon copper foil-clad insulating substrate material, the exposed surface areas of insulating material are contacted with an aqueous alkaline permanganate solution to remove from the areas residual metal species associated therewith so as to improve the electrical resistance afforded by those areas in the printed circuit.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a semi-additive or full-additive process for producing printed circuit or conductor boards having improved electrical resistance in which the coating of adhesive medium exposed between the trains of conductors is removed or partially removed without corroding the base material or copper of the conductor trains by a treatment with an alkaline permanganate or chromic acid solution and suitable washing steps carried out subsequently.

The invention relates to an arrangement for increasing the insulation coordination between at least two electric potentials on a printed circuit board (2), said arrangement comprising the printed circuit board (2) and an insulation barrier (3), wherein the printed circuit board (2) has an opening (7) between the electric potentials, and the insulation barrier (3) is disposed on the printed circuit board (2) so as to be displaceble through the opening (7) and is designed such that the isolating distance between the two electric potentials can be enlarged by displacing the insulation barrier (3) relative to the printed circuit board (2). The arrangement makes it possible obtain a high packing density on the printed circuit board (2).
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for directly detecting the atmospheric conditions leading to creep corrosion of printed circuit boards (PCBs) well before the PCBs in the computers start suffering from creep corrosion. The embodiment indicates the propensity of the air towards creep corrosion on PCBs. Additionally, to avoid the false reading due to condensed moisture, condensed moisture may be avoided by using a heater attached to the creep corrosion monitor that keeps the creep corrosion monitor above the dew point temperature.
