How Konlida Prevents SMT Gasket Soldering Failures: Inside Our Zero-Defect Quality System

A Micron-Level Error Can Trigger a Million-Dollar Failure

On a smartwatch production line, a 0.2 mm SMT gasket solder shift caused full-batch EMI test failure—resulting in over a million yuan in losses.
In fact, nearly 30% of EMI failures originate from small process deviations such as plating inconsistency, dimensional tolerance error, or contamination.

To eliminate these risks, Konlida has built a comprehensive three-layer quality defense system.

Konlida’s Three-Layer Quality Firewall

1. Precision Manufacturing: Micron-Level Dimensional Control

• Rotary die-cut accuracy: ±0.1 mm to ensure consistent SMT gasket geometry.

• ISO-class cleanroom to prevent particles and contamination.

• Strict plating stability control to maintain low, consistent surface resistance.

2. Extreme Reliability Testing: Ensuring Performance in Harsh Conditions

• Salt spray test (48 hours): resistance variation <10%.

• Reflow soldering at 270°C: no warpage, no delamination.

• Compression fatigue (2,000 cycles): recovery rate ≥90%.

3. Full Traceability: From Raw Material to Final Delivery

• Incoming inspection: XRF spectroscopy for RoHS compliance.

• Inline CCD vision system: real-time correction of positional deviation.

• Batch-level QC reports: full traceability and data archiving.

Real-World Cases: From Failure to Zero Complaints

Case 1: Smartwatch Antenna Module — Eliminating Solder Shift

Challenge:
SMT gasket shifted 0.3 mm after reflow, causing antenna EMI leakage.

Konlida’s Solution:

• High-precision rotary-cut SMT gaskets.

• Anti-vibration carrier tape packaging.

• Push-force testing: ≥5 kg to verify welding strength.

Result:
Production yield improved from 85% → 99.9%, with zero customer complaints.

Case 2: Medical Equipment — Corrosion Failure in Coastal Environments

Issue:
Salt-rich air caused conductive layer corrosion and EMI shielding degradation.

Konlida’s Approach:

• Gold-plated PI film with 0.03 Ω surface resistance.

• Moisture-blocking structural design.

Outcome:
Systems achieved 24 months of operation without failure, salt-spray impedance drift ≤5%.
