Numerical Study on New Pin Pull Test for Pad Cratering Of PCB

Billy Hu, Jesus Tan - Flextronics

Pad cratering is an important failure mode besides crack of solder joint as it'll pass the regular test but have impact on the long term reliability of the product. A new pin pull test method with solder ball attached and positioning the test board at an angle of 30° is employed to study the strength of pad cratering. This new method clearly reveals the failure mechanism. And a proper way to interpret the finite element analysis (FEA) result is discussed. Impact of pad dimension, width and angle of copper trace on the strength is included. Some findings not included in previous research could help to guide the design for better performance...
