You ask a question far too broad for a reasonable answer.  As a start, I 
would recommend any books by the late Dr. Werner Englemeyer, an active 
participation in Technet until his death.  You can search on the Technet 
Archives using his name as a keyword and probably still be reading this 
time next year.

Are you talking about reliability of the bare board or of the finished 
assembly?  Two very different things, but related.

Brian Ellis's text on cleaning should be on everyone's desk.

Clyde Coombs has authored an excellent reference book "Printed Circuits 
Handbook", published by McGraw Hill.  Mine is the 5th edition but it might 
be up to the sixth edition by now. 

Charlie Harper has a good book, Electronic Materials and Processes, also 
McGraw Hill, 6th edition.

Beyond that, it depends on what aspect of reliability you are looking for. 
 

I will say though, that if you really want the best education in 
electronics reliability, stuff you won't find in most books, get involved 
with the IPC standards and attend what meetings you can.  I can't begin to 
tell you the education it has provided me over the years.  You learn as 
much over pizza and beer after the meetings as you do in the meetings 
itself.

Dear All,

Which book should i study to understand the reliability engineering of 
PCB. regards,
