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

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

When we have sent some of motherboards for reliability testing in a tird party laoratory. It is found that when Dye&Pry is done after 600 cycles of Thermal Cycling, in LGA socket only one of the corner solder joing had 100% type 3 crack. All other so

Hi mates, was going thru the IPC-A-610C Standards, and noted BGA voids stands somewhere between 10%-25% voids permissible in the solder "ball" bump, after reflow process. Was wondering, hypothetical case study, is there any specification for voids

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

When I was a salty old fart in the Navy, we sent the babes from the turnip patch off on snipe hunts. 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

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

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

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
