Example Filled Template

ECN-26-077 - Wirebond Capillary Change

Change Summary

Change capillary supplier for QFN power products from CAP-A12 to CAP-B18 effective at lot QF26-1900.

Affected Items

Item Revision Impact
Assembly WI WB-044 Rev D to Rev E
Bond recipe QFN_PWR_08 New locked recipe

Risk Assessment

No fit or form change. Function risk is low after pull, shear, and HTOL validation.

Validation Plan

Build 3 lots, 77 units per lot for bond pull, ball shear, temp cycle, and 168-hour HTOL.

Implementation

Quarantine old capillary inventory after final approved lot cut-in.
