Printed circuit boards and their assemblies (PCB & PCBA) are the core components of electronic products, and their reliability directly determines the overall reliability of electronic products. To ensure and enhance the quality and reliability of electronic products, it is essential to carry out comprehensive physical and chemical analyses of failures, identify the underlying failure mechanisms, and then propose corresponding improvement measures. MTT possesses profound technical expertise in board-level failure analysis, a complete range of analytical methods, a vast database of case studies, and a team of experienced experts, providing you with high-quality and efficient failure analysis services.
The purpose of electronic component failure analysis is to employ a variety of testing and analytical techniques and procedures to identify the failure phenomena of electronic components, determine their failure modes and mechanisms, identify the ultimate root cause of failure, and propose recommendations for improvements in design and manufacturing processes. This helps prevent the recurrence of failures and improves the overall reliability of the components.
The continuous rise in complexity and performance requirements of integrated circuits, combined with potential risks across design, manufacturing, packaging, and application stages, has led to frequent occurrences of critical failure modes such as short circuits, open circuits, leakage, burnout, and parameter drift. These issues not only result in costly device scrapping and system downtime but also often trigger disputes over responsibility among designers, foundries, packaging and testing houses, and end-users, causing significant economic losses and reputational risks.
The performance requirements for polymer materials continue to rise, while differences in understanding of high-demand products and processes between customers and suppliers often lead to frequent failures such as fracture, cracking, corrosion, and discoloration. These failures frequently cause disputes over responsibility and result in significant economic losses.
The increasingly harsh service environments of metal components place higher demands on material performance and structural reliability. However, factors such as design flaws, material defects, manufacturing deviations, or improper use can readily trigger typical failures including fatigue fracture, stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen embrittlement, creep, wear, and overload deformation.

Solderability Test

Through testing, problems such as the wettability and oxidation degree of components or PCB bonding pads can be discovered in advance, avoiding defects such as false soldering, cold soldering, and solder joint cracking, and ensuring the consistency of soldering during mass production. 

Solderability Test

| Project Background

 

Through testing, problems such as the wettability and oxidation degree of components or PCB bonding pads can be discovered in advance, avoiding defects such as false soldering, cold soldering, and solder joint cracking, and ensuring the consistency of soldering during mass production. The test results can guide the adjustment of parameters such as soldering temperature, time, and solder paste usage, and optimize the production process. International standards (IPC-J-STD-002/003, IEC 60068-2) and customers usually require a solderability test report to ensure that the products meet reliability certifications (such as in high-requirement fields like automotive electronics and aerospace). It helps the incoming quality control (IQC) to screen the components or PCBs provided by suppliers, preventing batch-quality accidents caused by material problems.

 

 

| Project Overview

 

After applying the specified flux to the components or PCBs, immerse them in the molten solder, and determine their solderability based on the solder wetting ratio or wetting force value.

 

 

| Test Objective

 

For components, evaluating solderability is to verify that the solderability of component leads and terminals meets the requirements specified in this standard, and also to confirm that storage has no adverse effect on soldering the components to the interconnection substrate. The solderability can be determined during component manufacturing, when the user receives the components, or before assembly and soldering.

 

For PCBs, it is to verify that the PCB manufacturing process and subsequent storage have no adverse effect on the solderability of the parts on the PCB that need to be soldered. A reference attached board or a representative part of the PCB can be used. Process the PCB according to the selected test method, and then separate a part of it from the PCB as a test specimen to evaluate the solderability.
