was the wetting test conducted with SN96? Do any Pull or stress testing?

Sounds like an ideal method for damaging fragile solder connections, eh? Is your customer paying extra for this 'inspection'?

Can anyone point me in the direction to find some IPC standards for lead free solder joint reliablity tests, such as shear tests, pull tests, vibe tests, enviroment tests, etc. I need to know what the specs. are on all aspects of reliability and how

I have had similar problems and my customers have had this too. A two story drop test was made by one of my customers and they found that changing Sn63 solder to Sn62 solder made a significant impact. There is no real downside other than a slightly

Hello Chris, To be honest, it's hard to believe you could not bond to ENIG at all. Yes, the gold layer is thin and hard, but it just narrows the process window and does not make the bonding impossible. I say this, because we have been using TS gold w

Steve - you must not work to IPC class 2 or 3 requirements. If the solder is "pillowed" around the lead, I would strongly suspect a wetting problem. Most of the Paladium leads I see soldered have a strong line of demarcation but no pillowing. Hav

A properly formed solder connection is stronger than the underlying copper to laminate bond. Measuring pad peal strength: IPC-TM-650, Method 2.4.21 for multiple solderings, use Method 2.4.8 for copper peal using an Instron machine. Typical requiremen

Hi, I don't know if it will help but we talked about soldering Nickel on this thread: http://www.smtnet.com//forums/index.cfm?fuseaction=view_thread&CFApp=1&Thread_ID=8051&#Message31803 where we used Cobar solder paste for soldering all types of

Well, I can't speak for them falling off later on, as that's not when I see them, and they are passing their wire pull tests after bonding. What I am seeing is electrical opens during testing, and these opens coincide with the Au/Al bonded points. Th
