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

Mike, Thanks for the reply. It's not really a matter of slope. It is the long term thermomechanical fatigue that the solder joint undergoes as a result of repeated severe temperature swings, while the product is in use. Non-leaded parts are suscep

Q1: How do you define torque setting for screw? A1: Talk to people at your nut supplier. Some nut suppliers post torque tables on the web. For instance: http://www.thelenchannel.com/1torque.html http://www.marfas.com/Ttorque.shtml http://www.pac

Mike: I�d hate to see you making design decisions, based solely on the discussion here, but that this would be an impetus to consult IPC-D-279, "Design Guidelines ... " and take a course on designing reliable boards. Werner Engelmaier (Engelmaier

Amol, I thought I answered your question in another thread, dude! Anyway, to re-iterate. Yes, I was able to pull it off a hybrid profile. The LF BGA passed tensile testing, but no, it wasn't thermally cycled or stressed first to expose any latent

| Also the preheating of the board is done to help evaporate any water/alcohol that is in the flux - water is a big problem in No-clean processes. From our experience, a temp range around 200f - no more than 220f is ideal for the bigger boards, but t

| I am looking for the Industry standards on vias. Are they required to be plated with solder or is copper plating enough? What about reliabilty with either one? Also, if tenting the via is required should it be copper plated or solder plated over
