Can anyone point me in the direction to find some IPC standards for lead free solder joint reliablity tests, such as shear tests, pull tests, vibe tests, enviroment tests, etc. I need to know what the specs. are on all aspects of reliability and how

IPC 610 *C* states that the solder thickness requirement is a properly wetted termination is evident. Fillet height is another aspect and is usually specific to the package but is some function of solder thickness plus a percentage of lead height. D

Your customer is so poorly educated that you should decline their work, because this will not be the last time they waste your time with their cockamamey theories.

Dave, Thanks - I couldn't agree with you more. Unfortunately, our "bean counters" have a different frame of mind.

You're right Hussman, I kinda missed the follow thru on that one! Sorry for any confusion on my part boys. Huss, you going to APEX this year? We missed ya last year. L.A. this year....boo!

We are designing a new PCB that will include a 0.4 mm WLCSP IC package. The OEM’s application-note for this package states ENIG; Au

Maybe ask your customer where they got this idea from? It is possible they may have even got this idea from some white paper or article where they are trying to explain something else and show drawings with no solder between the pad and lead. It may

Mike, dude, I feel your pain. Hearing stories like this makes my blood boil! It's almost as ridiculous as a customer who told me to put more solder paste on a MELF component to overcome noise issues - he used more solder paste as antennas to overco

Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of IPC-A-610 D on hand, however, I believe in IPC-610, this �floating height� between lead and pad has no maximum specification restriction. As long as there is no voiding, it is still acceptable for all 3 classes.

I don't recall thicknesses off the top of my head but brittleness becomes an issue more for gold plating then ENIG. .125 um should be fine. also, gold ain't cheap so its unlikely your PCB fab will get anywhere near the max tolerance. On the other e
