The Effect of Thermal Cycling Dwell Time on Reliability of Pb-free Solder Alloys
The Effect of Thermal Cycling Dwell Time on Reliability of Pb-free Solder Alloys
This paper presents the initial results from an experimental program designed to compare thermal cycling results for high-performance solder alloys using an extended dwell of 60 minutes to a typical short dwell time of 10 minutes. The 10-minute dwell data were generated in the initial phase oftesting and published previously.
