Bob Bob: Fortunately, you found this before you built-up a lot of product. Some thoughs and other drivel: 1 Use IPC-TM-650, Method 2.4.8 for copper peel with a Instron machine. Typical pad peel strength requirement for FR-4, 2 oz. copper is: 6 l

Don't sound proper. There is no specification. Pad peel strength test methods are: * IPC-TM-650, Method 2.4.21 for multiple solderings * IPC-TM-650, Method 2.4.8 for copper peel with a Instron machine. Typical requirement for Cu is: 6 lbf/in [1

Scott: Sounds like fun: � Solder joint strength in pull/shear varies with lead geometry, solder volume, lead metal/metallization, and the test method. � Among things, IPC-TM-650 talks to getting pads off-of boards. For instance: Method 2.4.8 is for

You can try a 5% solution of sulfuric acid. It's used to clean copper foils to IPC-TM-650 method 2.3.15 prior to testing for purity.

A properly formed solder connection is stronger than the underlying copper to laminate bond. Measuring pad peal strength: IPC-TM-650, Method 2.4.21 for multiple solderings, use Method 2.4.8 for copper peal using an Instron machine. Typical requiremen

Ionic Cleanliness Testing: IPC-TM-650, Test Method 2.3.25, Section 5, "Dynamic Extraction Method", is the most commonplace method in the industry to test YOUR PCBA's for cleanliness. Run it through your process as normal, and send it out for testin

Here's what I do: - Test Surface Insulation Resistance (we're in the high reliability market and use a test significantly harder than IPC's). I also test SIR in combination with other assembly materials like conformal coatings and wave solder flux

Hi John, A primary consideration is the type of flux you are using. If it's water soluble (organic acid) then cleaning is highly recommended. Any other flux that fails the copper mirror test, we'd strongly recommend cleaning. Passing the copper m
