I need to perform shear tests on components that have been glued prior to wave soldering. Can any one recommend a shear tester and some standardized info on testing? We have had problems with poor glue bonds and would like to implement a test metho

Your customer is correct. Components should not fall a board during a reasonable drop test. A shear test poorly represents a drop test. A drop test represents a drop test very well. If you want to proceed with shear testing, search the fine SMTne

There's no such specification. Not should there be. Shear tests [in our opinion] are senseless, because: * Solder joint strength in pull/shear varies with lead geometry, solder volume, lead metal/metallization, and the way the test is done. * She

What do you mean by "But after performing temperature cycle test, the former aging rate (from the shear strength ) seems faster than the latter."? Comments are: I can't recall having heard the term "precipitation hardness" [not that that means anyt

Jerry, In our house we generally run a glue bottom last but people do it both ways. Our logic revolves around protecting components from being knocked off the board during handling and processing prior to wave solder (this is most important with sm

Up! Thanks anyway for your answer Lynn. But I'm still in the issue regarding the assembly of passive components on substrat with conductive adhesive. We hardly reach the minimum specifications of shear strengh for each component we use (1206, 0805

Chances are this is not a component failure. First, these are passive components with passive testing on the ICT. He may have guarding issues, but more information is required as has been stated. Are all capacitors with the same P/N failing in dif

Continuing, I�ve optioned about the uselessness of shear testing of solder connections on this forum previously. So, the points that you make about the elusiveness of developing a standard for measuring solder connection strength is well taken. I�l
