On this episode of Reliability Matters, we’re diving into a deceptively simple but incredibly important topic, humidity, and the massive impact it can have on electronic assembly reliability.
Joining me is Viktoria Rawinski, a seasoned expert in materials science and reliability engineering, whose career spans decades of hands-on experience in failure analysis, process optimization, and design-for-reliability practices.
Viktoria is not only a respected voice in the industry, but also a passionate educator, known for breaking down complex technical issues into actionable insights.
In her two-part LinkedIn technical series, “Humidity – A Small Cause with a Huge Effect,” Viktoria explores how environmental moisture, often overlooked or underestimated, can trigger serious failure mechanisms in circuit assemblies, especially as devices become smaller and more complex. From solder mask absorption to electrochemical migration, we'll unpack the hidden risks that can jeopardize product performance and long-term reliability.
Whether you're in design, manufacturing, or quality assurance, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
