CER-PAK Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full CER-PAK product range. Below are the major product families we service.
Hermetic Ceramic Packages (DIP, LCC, PGA)
Hermetically sealed ceramic dual in-line and leadless chip carrier packages used in military, aerospace, and industrial electronics. Common issues include header cracking, lid seal failures, internal moisture ingress, and bond wire corrosion.
Hybrid Integrated Circuit Substrates
Thick-film ceramic substrates with integrated resistors, capacitors, and interconnect layers for high-reliability hybrid assemblies. Subject to delamination, dielectric breakdown, trace corrosion, and thermal cycling fatigue.
Custom Ceramic Housing Assemblies
Application-specific ceramic housings for power modules, RF components, and sensor packages. Repair challenges include thermal interface material degradation, ceramic-to-metal seal failure, and mounting pad lift-off.
Solder and Braze Joints in Ceramic Assemblies
Lead-free and lead-containing solder connections in CER-PAK packages, prone to cracking under thermal cycling, vibration, and shock in Indian industrial environments.
Thermal Management Coatings and Interfaces
Thermally conductive coatings and interface materials on CER-PAK packages that degrade or separate, reducing heat dissipation and causing device failure in automotive and industrial applications.

Common CER-PAK Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in CER-PAK equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Hermetic package seal failure and moisture ingress — CER-PAK ceramic packages rely on glass-to-ceramic seals and lid welds. Environmental stress, thermal cycling, and mechanical shock in Indian manufacturing environments can cause microfractures in the seal interface, allowing moisture to penetrate the hermetic cavity.
- ✓Ceramic substrate delamination and cracking — CER-PAK hybrid substrates undergo delamination when adhesive bonds between ceramic layers weaken due to thermal cycling, humidity, or manufacturing defects. Cracks propagate through the dielectric, short-circuiting thick-film resistor networks and breaking interconnect traces.
- ✓Lead-free solder joint cracking and fatigue — CER-PAK lead-free (SnAgCu) solder joints in ceramic packages are vulnerable to crack initiation under thermal cycling due to coefficient-of-thermal-expansion mismatch between ceramic, metal leads, and solder. Indian automotive and defense environments expose packages to -40 to +125°C operating ranges.
- ✓Bond wire corrosion and open circuit faults — Aluminum or gold bond wires inside CER-PAK hermetic packages corrode due to package seal failure, ionic contamination, or electrochemical reactions. This causes high-resistance bonds, intermittent opens, or complete device failure.
- ✓Thermal interface material degradation and delamination — CER-PAK packages with thermal epoxy or alumina coatings experience interface material cracking and separation under thermal cycling and mechanical vibration. This dramatically reduces heat transfer to the mounting substrate, causing thermal runaway.
- ✓Thick-film resistor network opens and shorts — CER-PAK hybrid substrates with integrated thick-film resistor networks develop open circuits due to trace corrosion, dielectric breakdown, or delamination. Environmental moisture and ionic contaminants accelerate failure in coastal and high-humidity Indian industrial locations.

Frequently Asked Questions — CER-PAK Repairs
Do you repair CER-PAK equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the full CER-PAK ceramic package and hybrid substrate range — hermetic DIPs, LCCs, PGAs, custom housings, and thick-film substrates. We offer PAN India door pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and all other cities. Our main repair facility is in Vadodara, Gujarat, with express courier dispatch. We handle classified and defense-contract CER-PAK assemblies under secure conditions.
How do you test CER-PAK hermetic packages for seal integrity?+
Synchronics uses helium leak-rate testing (per MIL-STD-883 Method 1014) to verify seal integrity of CER-PAK hermetic packages. We measure leak rates from 10E-10 to 10E-3 atm-cc/sec. For packages showing marginal leaks, we perform thermal shock cycling (-55 to +125°C, 15 cycles) followed by re-test to assess seal robustness. Full documentation and certificates are provided.
Can Synchronics repair CER-PAK hybrid substrate delamination?+
Yes, for many cases. Synchronics uses X-ray fluoroscopy to map delamination extent and acoustic microscopy to assess disbond area. If delamination is localized and does not affect critical traces, we perform precision re-bonding using ceramic adhesive and thermal cycling to restore mechanical and electrical integrity. Severe or widespread delamination may require substrate replacement with matched sourcing from our supplier network.
What is the turnaround time for CER-PAK package repair at Synchronics?+
Standard CER-PAK repair turnaround is 5-10 working days depending on fault severity and testing requirements. Hermetic seal failures and solder joint repairs typically take 7 days including leak testing and thermal cycling. Rush service (48-72 hours) is available for critical automotive and defense applications. All timelines include diagnostic report and full documentation.
Do you offer CER-PAK preventive maintenance and accelerated life testing?+
Yes. Synchronics provides thermal cycling stress testing (-55 to +125°C), vibration fatigue testing, and humidity aging for CER-PAK assemblies used in automotive and harsh-environment applications. We develop custom test profiles matching your operating environment and generate detailed Weibull failure analysis reports. This helps Indian manufacturers predict component life and optimize replacement intervals.
How do I send my CER-PAK unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a CER-PAK drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on CER-PAK repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your CER-PAK unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
