Why are you printing paste on test via? In the old days, we probed soldered pads to cushion impact force of probing. Is that still a reasonable practice?

Actually, if you experience lack of witness marks, you probably have a problem. Witness marks are OK and will not affect your assembly. I assume this is an SMT assembly we are talking about, in which case, this is what your test pads are for. You

Looking at the appearance of pads and solder joint is pretty subjective. Especially lead free people are all over the map on the physical appearance of pads and joints. The true test is solderabilty testing, weather it’s just looking for good wetti

Hi Prem, Yes, the flux in the Cobar paste helped with wetting and joint strength, as does reducing voids as there is more solder in the joint, as does cooling rate. Regarding peel test in KG, it depends on the pad size and volume of solder in the j

Last year we installed two in-line ICT/Functional testers. With the current volume getting ever greater, we need to be able to identify post test what has been tested and what has not. One idea was to put two circular pads 0.100 apart with an 0.004"

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
