This handbook is a companion reference to J-STD-001, Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies. The intent of the Handbook is to provide supporting information for the Standard, explain the "how-to" and "why" behind the criteria and provide the fundamentals for the processes to make acceptable soldered connections.

This handbook is a companion reference to J-STD-001, Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies. It describes materials, methods, and verification criteria that, when applied as recommended or required, will produce quality soldered electrical and electronic assemblies. The intent of the Handbook is to explain the ‘‘how-to,’’ the ‘‘why,’’ and fundamentals for these processes...

This document provides tests that record changes in surface insulation resistance (SIR) on a representative sample of a printed circuit assembly. It quantifies any deleterious effects that might arise from solder flux or other process residues left on external surfaces after soldering, which can cause unwanted electrochemical reactions that grossly affect reliability. It uses test vehicles that...

Surface mount pad cratering typically initiates prior to detection by existing electrical monitoring test methods. There are limited instrumentation techniques that are currently available that can identify non-electrical damage and its location to a high degree of accuracy. This guideline document establishes an acoustic emission (AE) method to evaluate the performance and reliability of surface...

While there are a variety of industry test vehicles for the examination of materials compatibility, most available test boards leave something to be desired as there is often a dramatic difference in materials between such test boards and produced assemblies. A test vehicle was needed which could be used for both ion chromatography and SIR testing that would be more representative of mainstream...
