Does anyone know where I can find good rule of thumb information on soldering/brazing. I am most interested learning the maximum recommended CTE mismatch between two different materials that thermally cycle between 25-100C.

What is an acceptable mismatch for smt components and pcb. We are having cracked solder joints from fatigue after repeated thermal cycling 25 deg. c to 125 deg.c.

That's a peculiar temperature range for your cycling. What are your ramps and dwells?

I hear that there is a problem with using ceramic parts that are sizeable. Apparently, there is a mismatch in the Temperature Coefficient of Expansion between the FR4 and ceramic materials which causes the soldered erminations to weaken and eventuall

Sounds like someone aimin� fo tha big hurt, if ya axes me. Two spots to place your lawn darts are: 1 J Hwang in "Modern Solder Technology � " states (p.354) that " � extreme CTE mismatch between silicon IC (~2) and the PCB (~16), solder connections

Is there a way to avoid the reliability problems arising from the tce mismatch between ceramic chip smc's and FR4 laminates, without spending an arm and a leg on expensive substrate materials? Are there inexpensive substrates with reasonably compata

Jim, I wouldn't sweat a TCE mismatch between Ceramic chip components and FR4. No need to worry. 99.5% of consumer product out there utilizes this exact technology with no threat of failure due to CTE mismatch. The terminices of the components occu

Jim, The use a a teflon substrate, would mitigate the TCE mismatch you are expierencing. Mike
