I AM JUST EVALUATION LEAD FREE EVALUATION AND FOUND THE BIG PROBLEM OF SOLDER CRACK BETWEEN TERMINAL OF COMPONENT AND THE INTERMETALLIC LAYER OF LEAD FREE ALLOY BUT DON'T FIND ANY CRACK BETWEEN SOLDER AND SURFACE OF PCB , COULD YOU HELP ME VERIFY THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS PHENOMENA?

THANK YOU. FRANKY

Bet your using tin/ lead plated components with a lead free Cu/Ag/Sn alloy. It leads to intermetallic cracking. Wow didn't anyone tell you to check the archives yet, It seems to be the answer given to everyone. Why have an interactive site if you always send people to the "library".
