Ipc-9708

Run the shear or pull test at the specified speed and height. Record peak load, displacement, and energy to failure (area under the curve).

Thermal cycling remains the primary method for testing solder joint fatigue. IPC-9708 refines the definitions of temperature ranges to better suit modern applications. It categorizes test conditions based on the intended environment of the product: ipc-9708

With long field life (20+ years) and zero repair tolerance, pad cratering is unacceptable. IPC-9708 is used for ongoing process control to detect laminate degradation due to moisture absorption or outgassing. Run the shear or pull test at the specified speed and height

: While the standard does not define absolute "pass/fail" criteria, it provides the methodology for users and suppliers to establish their own agreed-upon (AABUS) acceptance levels. ANSI Webstore Context in Electronics Manufacturing IPC-9708 refines the definitions of temperature ranges to
