What are the common cause for solder joint crack after the pcba go through Temperature cycling test ?We have seen failure on solder joint for the memory part.

Major sources of crack in the solder connection after thermal cycling are:

* Thermal heating caused by differences in thermal expansion between the board and the component

* Lead-free solder is more rigid and brittle than eutectic solder in similar conditions

Thanks Dave..My customer proposing to reduce the solder volume.Can the TCT be improved by reducing the stand-off height?

Just the opposite, reducing the standoff increases the shear strain range in temperature cycling, which lowers the number of cycles to failure.

Is there any chance that the boards were mechanically stressed (for instance, installed in a fixture) before, during, or after the testing?

I'm just looking for other possible root causes.

You may need tell us the background, how PCBA being tested, the test setting and spec. Solder crack maybe due to CTE mismatch or mechanical strain.
