Can anyone point me in the direction to find some IPC standards for lead free solder joint reliablity tests, such as shear tests, pull tests, vibe tests, enviroment tests, etc. I need to know what the specs. are on all aspects of reliability and how

You're correct. There is no criteria for no-lead, but there none for SnPb, either. Solder joint strength in pull/shear will vary with lead geometry, solder volume, lead metal/metallization, the way the test is done.

hi, I am a Hardware designer . One of my products is undergoing a Reliability test in which a resistor shows a high value on board from its specified value .However it retains the original value when its cooled under room temperature. The resistor

| Has any anyone established / published quality standards for BGA solder joints? Is IPC-A-610 in process of adding standards for BGAs? | The debate continues. I have felt for some time a maximum 20% voiding is allowable under certain conditions (w

Factors that affect the solder joint quality are *envirinmental condition(i.e.,humidity) *contamination *Flux residues *all of the above

I haven't experienced this problem, exactly, but I have had issues with noise in digital circuits that appear to have gone away with touch up. The problem was that the customer blamed the noise issue on the solder quality, and he pointed to the fact

Hi, I wanted to know how can we test our paste quality, as viscosity, temperature in which it is delivered to the SMT line and other variables that can affect our paste dispense or soldering. Our concerns are that paste quality may be causing solde

Jigo, We have never had a need to do internal testing on solder paste, and your paste supplier should be able to tell you what the correct operating temperature range is. All of the big names in solder paste have tight quality control and I suspect t

It is sort of a self answering question if you come in from the solder paste angle. First....start gathering data. Check every day, or every new paste jar, for: Storage conditions (temp), paste expiration date, ambient temp and humidity where yo

"Whether or not you need a toe fillet depends on your application. We have high reliability products where we can't use a QFN over a certain size, regardless of toe fillet. We have other applications where we meet the thermal cycle requirements for a
