Abstract:
The risk of discharging always exists inside the unit of spacecraft. Therefore, for PCBs working in a relatively high voltage, anti-discharge techniques and measures are necessary. To evaluate some present aati-discharge technologies, the corona inception voltage(CIV)of solder fillets under different technological conditions is measured. The results show that in similar conditions, the CIV of round shape solder fillets is higher than that of the ordinary solder fillets; there is no obvious difference for solder fillets with or without gap between them; the CIV of solder fillets with functional paint is considerably higher than those without paint. The above test results may provide some guidance for anti-discharge measures for PCBs used in spacecraft.
