Solder joint reliability testing provides confidence that your product will perform as expected under the conditions it may encounter while in use. Whether you are working to implement a new solder type or new component types, solder joint reliability testing gives you the information you need to understand how your solder joints perform and
This study focused on the board level solder joint reliability of a 28 lead dual row QFN package. Prior to manufacturing, a mechanical modeling DOE was performed for various dual row QFN footprints to estimate the solder joint lifetime through temperature cycle testing. The modeling was followed by prototype manufacturing of daisy chain units

solder joint—together with the use conditions, the design life, and the acceptable failure probability for the electronic assembly determine the reliability of the surface mount solder attachment. 2.1 Solder Joints and Attachment Types Solder joints are anything but a homogeneous structure. A solder joint consists of a number of quite
: failure criterion, solder joint, interconnection, reliability, control chart . 1. Introduction. One of the challenges in an experimental study of solder joint reliability is to determine when cracks occur in a solder joint. The most common way is through measurement of resistance solder joint or a daisy a chain. This method is based on the
Figure 5 - Method of Measuring Electrical Conductivity of Solder Joint Test Results High Temperature test Figure 6 shows the variation over time of the joint strength during high temperature test. The Sn-Zn-Bi solder exhibits a loss of joint strength at 250 hours after the beginning of the test. However, we were able to confirm that Sn-Ag-Cu solder did not exhibit
Higher speed solder ball testing can better simulate drop test strain rates, yet correlations between failure rate and strength have still proven to be weak. Wong, et al. used a micro-impact tester to generate high strain rates, and investigated different testing configurations.
Visual inspection of the solder joint after the solderability test can provide additional information on the quality of the wetting process. A well-soldered joint should exhibit complete and uniform coverage of the surface, with a smooth and shiny appearance. Any signs of dewetting, voids, or contamination may indicate solderability issues.

The test results indicated a consistent increase in RF impedance as the quality of the solder joints declined. This degradation was primarily attributed to the growth of cracks. Furthermore, the application of particle filtering successfully predicted the time to failure of the interconnects, demonstrating a close correlation with the actual

An experimental investigation based on six tested PCBs with soldered MLCCs considering three solder joint volumes and two different component suppliers is presented. These PCBs are installed within a test setup which is thermally optimized in order to ensure a homogeneous spatial temperature distribution on all PCBs. In order to
der that the attribute data of the dip solderability tests have never been correlated to solder joint quality: they cannot be correlated in a practical sense; the work would be too costly because it would require too many specimens. Solderability test researchers in the past, faced with this problem, relied upon "over-engineering" the test. One
Dry solder joints occur due to several reasons, each impacting the quality of the solder connection. First of all, the solder paste reflow process is only a small area, which is easier to harden than the solder paste in the solder

When solder joints fail during testing, our experts evaluate the component to determine the nature and root cause of the failure and advise on potential solutions. There are three major mechanisms of solder joint failure, which may happen concurrent to one another: Thermal cycling is the most common method of testing Solder Joint Reliability.
The main goal of the solder joint testing is to acquire large amount of load-dependent solder joint lifetime data of MLCC components under superimposed cyclic thermal and 3-point-bending load, which allows a more precise statistical lifetime evaluation.
For lead-free solder joint reliability, the thermal cycling test and drop test are the most used tests and thus they will be briefly mentioned first. Thermal cycling is the most common test in solder joint reliability.
Based on research conducted by Yang , it was found that solder joints exhibiting a very low change in intensity during inspection at the end of Accelerated Thermal Cycle testing (ATC) relative to the intensity observed at the start of test or time zero were shown to be healthy joints.
This method is capable of measuring the degradation time of the solder joints. After each test, an Electron Probe Micro Analyzer (EPMA) was used to perform cross-sectional observation and elemental analysis. Figure 6 shows the variation over time of the joint strength during high temperature test.
Figure 4 shows the method of measuring solder joint strength. As the diagram shows, the pull test for the QFP leads was performed at 20 mm/min and at a 45-degree angle. The pull test was performed during and after each reliability test, measuring the strength of at least one lead for each vicinity and calculating the averages.
