Hi everyone,

Is there any instrument that you are using to measure the tensile strenght of a solder joint?. I would like to measure that from smd and thru hole parts.

I just want to take a few samples to verify the mechanical properties.

Thanks for your response

These test are largely useless. Check the fine SMTnet Archives for previous rants.

The president of my former place of employment used a screw driver for his solder joint quality assessment. I recommend you keep yours calibrated and locked up, just to be safe.

We prefer a good ol' fashion beer can opener, a relic of kinder, simplier, pre-pop tab days. And a multitasker to boot.

That's a great idea. You don't even need a capacitor as a fulcrum. Crikey, you are one wise dude.
