There is a direct relationship between adhesive strength and surface area. If you graph this it will be linear. The amount of the adhesive should be about 2/3 the gap between the pads. Pad designs change all over so a true and tried rule does not ex

Use a push/pull tester. I use an OBA inst. works Ltd. tester. Just because mask comes off with bonder doesn't mean bonder is strong or cured right. Mask can be weak in between pads do to area size. Do it right and you'll know for sure. To many people

Is there a standard that we should aim for in respect to the strenght of the solder on SMT leads? We have a customer who are testing our product by pulling leads off of pads then returning them.

you tell me, the customer has started to pull at some of the leads of some IC's with tweezers while de-bugging boards that had failed in the field, he was able to pull some of the leads away from the solder joints, we feel he may be over-doing it a

Is there a spec for the adhesives used to hold down parts before wave soldering. What size dots are recommended and what is the maximum shear force(1LB?) tested for to ensure good adhesion. Your help is appreciated Rich Scheleski

As a basic guide the minimum spec you should look for is 500g you should achieve a force on most chip parts of 800-1000g. Parts are lost on wave soldering due to no material, poor curing, poor surface adhesion and poor handling. Its not the wave sold

If there's no shear strength standard for solder joint, how will I define my pad width and length then. I have a 8.5 mils width and my component lead width is 8.66 mils based on manufacturer's minimum width specification. How will I identify that it

Dear all, Recently our customer complaint that some components being came off from the pcba after dropping test.But the curious is, the leads show visible solder fillet covering more than 75% of termination area on pad, which is acceptable as per IP

There is no spec because solder is designed to provide an electrical connection not a mechanical connection to hold the part on. If it where mechanical we�d be welding our parts on. Your pad width and length are derived from your component manufact

There is no standard. This is a relative test. If you wish to do tests of this kind, we suggest to pay attention to the following points: * Shear strength of soft solder depends on the deformation speed applied. The faster the material is deformed t
