I don't think you can find any specs on that. As long as a solder joint can not be broken by virtually "blowing over it" any reading on the UTS, or shear strength can be very confusing. You can specify, though that the assembly (joint) should withsta

Hello everyone, after a short layoff I am glad to be back. I have a question. I have a button (snap button) that is being soldered to a strip of sac coated copper. We are questioning the joint strength of this from our vendor as we see these popping

How to test the reflow solder joint shear strength? What are the specification to test solder joint shear strength? What are the different methods to test the solder joint shear strength? Vijayashree

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

we also have a need to measure the solder bond strength of our gull wing parts on our pwb. there are many published comparisons between eutectic SnPb and no Pb solders out there. the number that comes to mind is about 10N to 15N. I have not looked

Hi, We are running the automotive product and question was throw to us how do we ensure that our solder joint are good enough after reflow.....and during the sealant process, there's a bit of bend on the nozzle and it toughes the component and custo

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

I have had similar problems and my customers have had this too. A two story drop test was made by one of my customers and they found that changing Sn63 solder to Sn62 solder made a significant impact. There is no real downside other than a slightly

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

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
