How to test the reflow solder joint shear strength? What are the specification to test solder joint shear strength? What are the different methods to test the solder joint shear strength? Vijayashree

Shear tests are [in my opinion] senseless. The shear stress you measure depends more on the shear rate and on the point where the force is applied than on the grain structure. When shearing a component, you not only apply shear stress, but also roll

I don't think you can find any specs on that. As long as a solder joint can not be broken by virtually "blowing over it" any reading on the UTS, or shear strength can be very confusing. You can specify, though that the assembly (joint) should withsta

If there's no shear strength standard for solder joint, how will I define my pad width and length then. I have a 8.5 mils width and my component lead width is 8.66 mils based on manufacturer's minimum width specification. How will I identify that it

There is no spec because solder is designed to provide an electrical connection not a mechanical connection to hold the part on. If it where mechanical we�d be welding our parts on. Your pad width and length are derived from your component manufact

Your customer is correct. Components should not fall a board during a reasonable drop test. A shear test poorly represents a drop test. A drop test represents a drop test very well. If you want to proceed with shear testing, search the fine SMTne

There is no standard. This is a relative test. If you wish to do tests of this kind, we suggest to pay attention to the following points: * Shear strength of soft solder depends on the deformation speed applied. The faster the material is deformed t
