Hi Charlie,
Yes, that would serve. We have "PTH/PTV Reliability Coupons," "Registration
Coupons" and "SIR Coupons"--why not "Delamination Coupons." At this point,
it
is however not clear, at least to me, which PWB design features [lots of Cu,
little Cu, coupon size, etc.] are the most critical in terms of lamination.
But my question is as 'Why should the burden not be on the suppliers?'--they
control the properties of their materials and it should be part of their
data
sheets. Unfortunately, data sheets are made of very uncomplaining paper--I
have found data sheets from large 'reputable' suppliers giving CTE values of
FR-4
material as low as 11 ppm/C when the true CTE when we measured it was almost
double.
Why is it, that in our industry, most of the suppliers are part of the
problem rher than part of the solution?
With this 'Lead-Free' insanity and the lack of resources, we had better all
contribute or face the consequences.

Werner Engelmaier
