I have a product using high temperature solder to connect terminal pins to a PCB. The board is single sided copper, no plaiting. The solder is 95% tin 5 % silver. The flux is low activity rosin. The product is a subassembly. When the product is

Sorry to build up your hopes. The latest thing to hit the air ways at work, I was accessed of fiddling with the oven settings, because there were reports of "cracked joints" there was no mention of where the cracks were, cracked at the pcb or cracke

This is one I haven't seen before (not in this context, anyway). We have an assembly that we have the SMT done out of house on, because of the high volumes. The boards have two distinct characteristics with respect to the appearance of the solder jo

This processes has the potential to cause barrel cracking and pad lifting, because the heating is very hot [troop crank-up the volume on their iron when they see thick boards] for a relatively small area on one side of the board. What do we suggest

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.

Depends on lead free alloy choice as well

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 simila

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.

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