Abstract

The reliability of electronics assemblies is highly dependent on quality of solder joints. To assess a solder joint quality and its life-time several techniques were evaluated [1] showing that destructive techniques still represent major source of reliable data. Shear testing is used to measure thermal cycling induced damage in a form of internal cracks inside a solder joint. Main issue is to find a universal descriptive formula summarising effect of thermocycling parameters on a degradation variable. In this report the degradation variable is represented by ultimate shear strength of a solder joint.
