このコンテンツについて

 Reliability Matters is a podcast on the subject of reliability of circuit assemblies. Reliability "best practices" and success stories are discussed. This podcast features interviews with experts in the electronic assembly industry.

All electronic production segments which effect product reliability are on the table. This includes contamination, coating, cleanliness assessment, inspection, building for harsh environments, reflow, printing, failure analysis, board fabrication, and much more.

Your Host:
Mike Konrad began his career in the electronic assembly equipment industry in 1985. Mike founded Aqueous Technologies in 1992 in response to the Montreal Protocol and the resulting international treaty banning most popular cleaning/defluxing solvents.

Mike is an internationally known speaker on the subject of increasing reliability through contamination removal and cleanliness quantification techniques and procedures. Mike was awarded “Distinguish Speaker Status” with SMTA in 2018 and received the “Rich Freiberger Best of Conference Award” in 2019.

Mike is a member of the SMTA Global Board of Directors where he is Vice President of Communications. Mike is also Vice President of Technical Programs for the Los Angeles / Orange County SMTA Chapter.

  • Pick & Place Machine Selection and Optimization with Hanwha Semitech Americas CEO, Tim Kang - Episode #171

    Pick & Place Machine Selection and Optimization with Hanwha Semitech Americas CEO, Tim Kang - Episode #171
    2025/06/24
    Today we're turning our attention to a cornerstone of modern electronics manufacturing: pick and place technology.

    Joining me is Tim Kang, CEO of Hanwha Semitech Americas. With nearly two decades of experience in the electronics manufacturing space—starting as a mechanical engineer and now leading one of the top pick and place equipment providers—Tim brings a wealth of insight into what it takes to build reliable assemblies.

    In this episode, we’re covering best practices for selecting the most appropriate pick and place machine, how to get the most out of your equipment, and the common mistakes that can compromise productivity and long-term reliability.

    Whether you’re a process engineer, a line operator, or anyone involved in electronics manufacturing, this conversation is packed with practical advice you can use right away.

  • Episode 170: Reliability, Safety, and Human Impact: The DMR Approach with Dheeraj Narang

    Episode 170: Reliability, Safety, and Human Impact: The DMR Approach with Dheeraj Narang
    2025/06/13
    Today we're exploring a concept that has deep roots in process safety and infrastructure management, but also has meaningful applications in electronics manufacturing: Damage Mechanism Reviews, or DMRs.

    My guest today is Dheeraj Narang, a corrosion and reliability engineering specialist, process safety activist, and digital innovation researcher with an impressive track record across the energy sector.
    Dheeraj has spent his career developing and implementing asset integrity programs for more than nine global energy companies across the U.S., India, and the Middle East.

    He’s also a visionary advocate for using advanced technologies, industry best practices, and safety standards to uplift regions and workers where such systems are still under development.
    Whether it's through his service on global conference committees or his contributions to cutting-edge digital initiatives, Dheeraj is on a mission to blend technology, safety, and human rights into a unified vision of operational excellence.

    In this episode, we’ll discuss:
    What Damage Mechanism Reviews are and why they matter.

    How DMRs tie into reliability programs like FMECA.

    How DMR thinking could benefit industries outside of oil and gas—including electronics manufacturing
    and how emerging technologies like AI and machine learning can amplify the impact of these reviews.

    Whether you're in energy, electronics, or any industry where reliability and safety are paramount, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

    Reliability Matters on the Road in Anaheim California at the IPC APEX Expo - Episode 169
    2025/05/27
    On this episode of the Reliability Matters podcast, I left my usual studio for the IPC APEX Expo in Anaheim California.

    I interviewed two subject matter experts on topics related to electronic assembly.

    My guests are:
    Gerald Gardner, Global Product Manager at Weller, a manufacturer of hand soldering equipment fume extraction systems, and precision tools.

    Mike Young – CEO OF SASinno Americas, a manufacturer of wave and selective soldering equipment.

    More information on my guest's companies is available here:
