How to measure the max allowable force when we press the heatsink at the attachment process. I was posted with question by my customer, " how to I ensure that the force I use to attach the heatsink does not causing any damage to the solder joint on the IC's lead.

We are using the custom pnuematic press to press the heat sink. You can use a force gauge to check the pnuematic cylinder or you can caluclate the force by the size of the cylinder, PI * squ R * Input pressure.

Depend on the attachment method, by adhesive tape or epoxy, it is required 10~15PSI for 5~15 sec.
