Thanks Dave..My customer proposing to reduce the solder volume.Can the TCT be improved by reducing the stand-off height?

Just the opposite, reducing the standoff increases the shear strain range in temperature cycling, which lowers the number of cycles to failure.

Is there any chance that the boards were mechanically stressed (for instance, installed in a fixture) before, during, or after the testing? I'm just looking for other possible root causes.

I still don't see the defect, but in general, yes you can use an iron to reflow and cracked or suspect joint. You may want to add a little flux before you apply the iron.

Thank you for the above information but what I want to talk about is the PCB design aspect. Should there be any warning about it in the DFM?

Hello all, We just got some board back from thermal shock and we found that several of the 2512 resistors opened up. Actaully the solder joint cracked away from the board. All other coponents look great. Boards were good before test. 10 layer bo

Seriously, OSP?, change the board finish, you are the OEM, correct? You have the power! Also, as another poster mentioned, high force applied at ICT ( possibily to cut through the OSP goop ?!? ) could be warping the board enough to crack the joints.

You really need to define what you mean when you say "bend" and when you say "break". You might have zero damage to a bare board but cracked solder joints and ceramic caps on an assembly, given the same amount of bending or stress. It all depends on

Guys, We're seeing what looks like an issue where through hole solder joints from our ive solder process are cracking during the cooling phase of the soldering process. This was detected during thermal shock testing, and we have tracked it back to a

We are to use a PBGA 272 and a PBGA 388. Between 500 and 750 thermal shocks (-45�C/+125�C), we have noticed that some cracks appear in the solder joints. According to our component specialists, these cracks are due to the whole design (pcb, component
