Shear tests are [in my opinion] senseless. The shear stress you measure depends more on the shear rate and on the point where the force is applied than on the grain structure. When shearing a component, you not only apply shear stress, but also roll

Scott: Sounds like fun: � Solder joint strength in pull/shear varies with lead geometry, solder volume, lead metal/metallization, and the test method. � Among things, IPC-TM-650 talks to getting pads off-of boards. For instance: Method 2.4.8 is for

I'm trying to replace the PTH connectors with the SMT connectors in my design, and would like to make sure the SMT connector solder joints are as stong as PTH's. What's the right test to verify that? Is Pull and Shear test is the right choice? Where

First, any results of pull or shear tests are unscientific at best. [We pop our BGA from boards with, appropriately enough, a beverage can opener.] Second, we have no have problems with your ENIG specification. Third, as with your customer, we'd e

There is no specification. Shear tests are very material / operator dependent. BALL SHEAR TESTING OF RAW BGA DEVICES: A total of 3 devices were subjected to ball shear testing. Results of the testing indicated shear values in the range of 0.7-1.25

Does anyone know of a vendor able to perform ball shear testing services per JES stds? Thanks! BWET

Hi mates, I did a recent shear test (destructive test), on a uBGA liken product, and noted the post-shear solder joint, had clean "smooth" visual appearance under the uBGA pad, however the matching pcb pad was clearly lifted clean. Question: 1) how

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
