We can inspect and measure strain field in anything larger than 320nm with Laser techniques we have. We can do this measurements during fatigue testing. Of course thick intermetallic region as a solid region is a problem due to the fact that you ha

Here's part of what I could read: "We evaluated the influence of Lift-off (Fillet-lifting) and the influence of thermal fatigue, in this case on combination between various terminal platings of electronic components and Pb-free solder, Sn-37Pb solde

When I was a salty old fart in the Navy, we sent the babes from the turnip patch off on snipe hunts. 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

IPC-HDBK-830, Guidelines for Design, Selection and Application of Conformal Coatings says: A conformal coating may have several functions depending on the type of application. The most common are: * Inhibit current leakage and short circuit due to h

Whether there's a fillet or not depends on the component type. Most have a fillet but some, such as QFN's, don't necessarily have one. Have a look at IPC-610D Workmanship Standards to understand when you should expect one and when you shouldn't. T

One per operator is the optimum for obvious. 3 to 4 per operator is more typical. The number is not as important as the type and time. Like don't have someone handle 2 different TO92 part nrs., splitting them up to different operators eliminates the

In general, if the process has been consistent for a period of time, then one should look at any new variables in the process. Therefore...the supposition that there's a bad lot of components is a very good one. Did Yageo offer any possible explana

Ryan ... "As for bismuth-based lead-free alloys, a lower melting temperature than that of tin-lead is offered together with a cost similar to that of tin [in the area of $3/lb]. Unfortunately, bismuth in soldering alloys tends to create embrittlemen

There is no industry standard for BTC stand-off height. "IPC-7093A Design and Assembly Process Implementation for Bottom Termination SMT (BTC) Components" just finished "Final Draft for Industry Review" in December 2018. It mentions stand-off height

| I am currently involved in a reliability project related to SMT QFP and TSSOP fine pitch solder joint reliability. I have decided to use a temp chamber for stress testing. Is there a test standard that covers this? I am also a bit unsre as to wheth
