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

Hello, I have recived from customer PCB where he found that big SMD electrolytic capacitor just fell off. I checked this boards (FR4 , Au/Ni coating). I noticed that all solder remained on the termination of capacitors and looks ok but on the boar

I would suspect touch-up/repair, unless all your caps are falling off. I know our operators use two irons to solder both sides at the same time. If it's not flay and square, yo may get the defect you are talking about. Another area is co-planari

I'm not on the production floor on a daily basis like the other guys here but here's my 2 cents: With a Ni/Au plating the inter-metallic that needs to be formed is Ni/Sn. Ni/Sn inter-metallic requires higher peak assembly temperature and a longer dwe

if opens in same aria check for mask to via coverage for that pad. We had vias pulling solder from pad. We did not have totally opens but capalry from via was as strong as capalry to ball / pad creating small joint aria.

Thanx Dave. What about the ball park figure for 20 & 16 mil pitch pull strength. Appreciate your input and thank you in advance.

GS, What should be the temperature we should get down to? Is it room temperature? Then it could be quite a long time. Eutectic solders cool down below 183C and may be cooling to 100C should do good? What do you think?

Chunks learn to spell first, then you can place blame on the operators. That's all yu do - blame operators. Get the facts first, even we know how to do that.
