Possible cause can be design related- if the solder land is too small. Check w/ IPC SM-782 Solder Land Design Guide Another is board finish. I have seen problems like this with Gold finished PWBs- which creates a more brittle solder joint.Another pos

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.

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

Bob, Great theory if you're selling SN100C, but I have to disagree that an alloy being 4�C off eutectic will cause cracks. When a solder joint exits the solder wave, there is an immediate drop in temperature of 100�C. so being off 4�C is irrelevant.

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

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.

Yes, lead can promote fillet lift. In order to understand this defect you must begin looking at your lead frame mateials. some lead frames are more susceptable to this disorder. This is most likely a cte mismatch disorder. Lead contamination in

Hello Joseph, Sorry for the bad news but microcracking is a well known potential condition occuring with the SAC305 alloy. Microcracking is a condition being seen with many joints soldered with the SAC305 alloy. It is technically a shrinkage cavity

I AM JUST EVALUATION LEAD FREE EVALUATION AND FOUND THE BIG PROBLEM OF SOLDER CRACK BETWEEN TERMINAL OF COMPONENT AND THE INTERMETALLIC LAYER OF LEAD FREE ALLOY BUT DON'T FIND ANY CRACK BETWEEN SOLDER AND SURFACE OF PCB , COULD YOU HELP ME VERIFY T

| 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 i
