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

Hey, Preacher, choir here. Unfortunately I didn't get to make the call here (hot boards, new product, same ol' same ol'), but I dam* well am looking for future (print) backup to assist in persuading the bottom line guys that it's cheaper to wait for

We recently have received a lot of warped (bowed and/or twisted behond IPC 600 specs.) bare boards (some our fabricator's fault, some ours by design) and I can't help but figure that long term reliability will suffer when building product with them.

DON'T do it!!! The two problems you'll have are: 1 Poor manufacturing process control, resulting in weak solder connections. 2 Weak solder connections are stressed, when the board is straightened upon installation in the "box". There's several hits

I am pretty sure that is a moisture issue. You should probably bake your boards and some of your parts.

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
