This standard on spherical transient bend testing is intended to characterize the maximum allowable strain that a surface mount component's board level interconnects can withstand in flexural loading. Whereas four-point monotonic bend test methods only address simple planar bending, spherical bend tests establish strain limits of board level interconnects under worst-case flexure conditions that...

During mass soldering, it is important that all solder joints reach the minimum soldering (reflow) temperature to assure metallurgical bonding of the solder alloy and the base metals to be soldered. Metallurgical bonding requires that both surfaces to be soldered, as well as the solder, reach this minimum soldering temperature for a sufficient time to allow the wetting of the solder surfaces. This...
