I am currently involved in a reliability project related to SMT QFP and TSSOP fine pitch solder joint reliability. I have decided to use a temp chamber for stress testing. Is there a test standard that covers this? I am also a bit unsre as to whether

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

We've seen the same thing - leads of QFPs not as strong as we'd like them to be. In the past 4 years no problem, this Spring they start failing. Touch a solder iron to it and it solders fine. After crunching some data, we found that both QFPs fail

Dave - I agree that the U shape for QFP's sounds a bit whacked, for the reasons you state. It may work OK for larger pitchs but then again there are a myriad of fixes that work before resorting to U shapes. With the U shape removing paste from under

I snapped a board in half at a cracked solder joint, and the component pulled free of the solder and still has a very thin layer of metal on the termination end. Based on the construction spec.(solder over nickel over palladium), it looks like it
