 Advancing PCB and assembly testing at NPL: Update on capabilities and what they can tell us

NPL continues to lead innovation in test methods for printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies, supporting manufacturers and end-users across the electronics industry. In this webinar, Martin Wickham from NPL’s Electrical and Electronics Reliability Team will present recent advancements in testing capabilities, including:

  • Enhanced condensation testing for evaluating moisture-related failure mechanisms and conformal coating performance.
  • Expanded surface insulation resistance (SIR) measurement systems for high-sensitivity reliability assessments.
  • Newly developed high-voltage AC testing for dielectric materials, enabling simulation of partial discharge and long-term degradation.

These developments are helping NPL’s partners improve product reliability and performance in demanding environments. Join us to explore how these cutting-edge methods are shaping the future of electronics testing.

You are welcome to attend both webinar formats. A copy of the slides presented, access to the webinar recording and links to NPL reports will be provided after each webinar where appropriate. 

Fundamental webinars

Our series of fundamental webinars are aimed at early career engineers, reviewing measurement techniques and how to apply them to better understand reliability performance and potential impact on product life cycle. These quick-fire sessions allow a high level of knowledge exchange where technical knowhow is not essential and are an excellent precursor to product trouble shooting and quality control.

Technical webinars

The majority of our technical webinars run for 60 minutes and provide in depth analysis and measurement of testing and performance of applications where we review techniques and better understand reliability performance. These sessions provide interpretation and are crucial in the support of product development and in-field performance issues.
