Advancing Reliability in Automotive Power Electronics: Cleaning Strategies and Corrosion Mitigation

August 15, 2024, 2:00 PM EDT

Flux residues present considerable challenges for automotive power electronics, potentially resulting in corrosion, electrical shorts, and reliability issues. Join Ravi Parthasarathy, Sr. Applications Engineer, as he reviews how to mitigate these risks utilizing effective cleaning practices. Ravi will examine the evolution of power electronics in the automotive sector and address the mounting concern of corrosion-induced failures, such as electrochemical migration (ECM) and anodic migration phenomenon (AMP), delving into the causes of these failures and proposing mitigation strategies. Various techniques for assessing component cleanliness via case studies demonstrating the successful cleaning of complex automotive component packages will be reviewed as we dive into the challenges associated with sintering technology in automotive applications and suggest effective mitigation approaches. Attendees will benefit from valuable insights into enhancing the reliability of automotive power electronics systems.
