Anyone who has experience in IPC-TM-650 Environment test Method 2.6.3.1? I have a question. It is the procedure to finish electrical connections. According to 2.6.3.1D, there are apparatus which are solder pot, soldering iron and flux. Then solder a

The main function of the test is to evaluate the solder mask. Basically you are testing three samples: #1 - No solder mask, #2 - solder mask without solder, and #3 solder mask with solder. The solder pot is used to apply solder to the patterns on O

Does anyone know of an IPC standard callout for testing traces and there connection to pads or vias of manufactured PCB's? I believe it should be on the Fab drawing. At this time we ask for the test on our P.O.'s. Test Voltage (XX)V Single Sides Te

Hey Bud. Allow me to 'turn' your point about 'grain structure' just a bit. Fast cooling rates / coarse grain structures was a bit of red herring in the early 80's. Faster cooling DOES produce finer grained solder connections. Accelerated testing of

The garment test standard is ESD STM 2.1. It states that point to point and sleeve to sleeve resistance tests should be made. The electrical integrity of the seams is critical and will be verified by these tests. When you conduct a sleeve to sleeve t

When I worked for a med. device company it was always great fun to observe the UL testing. Everyone would gather around the stairwell and say bon voyage to an $8k piece of gear. This was NOT a test of the mechanical strength of soldered connections

Test Jet will work for catching lifted leads, certainly. X-ray is the only thing for testing for internal solder defects such as voids and cracks. I personally do not have any experience using X-ray, so I cannot advise on its reliability. Perhaps

First, most �thermal shock� recipes are not a reliability test. There is no relationship between the failures seem in these tests and in-use application. These tests show you the failures in these tests. That�s it!!! Second, accelerated life test

Q1.� is it mondatory to test all components and paths in the PCBA; and check all soldering joints? A1. Nothing is mandatory. You do ICT to prove some component functionality and check manufacturing process. ICT test coverage is driven by factors i
