The composition of the lead-free solder paste to be used in T est S1 shall be Sn96.5Ag3.0Cu0.5 (SAC305) per J-STD- 005, mesh size of -325/+500, ﬂux type to be agreed upon between user and vendor . The solder paste shall …

Unless otherwise speciﬁed, the land associated with a

plated-through hole shall be considered part of the plated-

through hole if it is used for through-hole attachment. In

this case, only tests for hole solderability apply. If the land

is used for surface attachment of parts, then such lands

shall be tested for both hole and surface solderability.

1.8 Coating Durability The user shall specify to the ven-

dor, as part of the purchase or ordering agreement, the

required coating durability. The following are guidelines

for determining the needed level of coating durability (not

product performance classes). Conditioning and solderabil-

ity testing shall be performed per Table 1-2.

Category 1 – Minimum Coating Durability

Intended for boards which will be soldered within 30 days

from the time of manufacture and are likely to experience

minimum thermal exposures.

Category 2 – Average Coating Durability

Intended for boards likely to experience storage up to six

months from the time of manufacture and moderate ther-

mal or solder exposures.

Category 3 – Maximum Coating Durability

Intended for boards likely to experience long storage (over

six months) from the time of manufacture, severe thermal

or solder processing steps, etc. It should be recognized that

there may be a cost premium or delivery delay associated

with boards ordered to this durability level.

1.9 Limitation This standard shall not be construed as a

production soldering or tinning procedure for preparing or

soldering of printed boards or assemblies.

The composition of the lead-free solder paste to be used in

Test S1 shall be Sn96.5Ag3.0Cu0.5 (SAC305) per J-STD-

005, mesh size of -325/+500, ﬂux type to be agreed upon

between user and vendor. The solder paste shall meet the

storage and shelf life requirements of the manufacturers’

speciﬁcation. Other lead-free solder pastes may be used

upon agreement between user and vendor

3.2.2 Flux The ﬂux for tin/lead solderability tests shall

be a standard activated rosin ﬂux #1 having a composition

of 25% ± 0.5% by weight of colophony and 0.15% ±

0.01% by weight diethylammonium hydrochloride (CAS

660-68-4), in 74.85% ± 0.5% by weight of isopropyl alco-

hol (see Table 3-1).

The ﬂux for lead-free solderability tests shall be standard

activated rosin ﬂux #2 having a composition of 25% ±

0.5% by weight of colophony and 0.39% ± 0.01% by

weight diethylammonium hydrochloride (CAS 660-68-4),

in 74.61% ± 0.5% by weight of isopropyl alcohol (see

Table 3-1).

3.2.2.1 Flux Maintenance Standard activated rosin

ﬂuxes #1 and #2 shall be covered when not in use and dis-

carded after eight hours or the ﬂux shall be maintained to

a speciﬁc gravity of 0.843 ± 0.005 at 25±2°C[77±3.6

°F] and discarded after one week of use.

3.2.3 Flux Removal Material used for cleaning printed

boards after solderability testing and prior to solderability

evaluations shall be capable of removing visible ﬂux resi-

dues.

3.3 Equipment The following criteria applies to all

methods and equipment (see APPENDIX C for a list of

equipment sources). Equipment that is speciﬁc to any of

the solderability test methods is described within the

method details.

3.3.1 Conditioning Equipment The conditioning equip-

ment shall be capable of maintaining the temperature and

humidity parameters speciﬁed in 3.4.2. The test specimens

shall be suspended so that no portion of the test specimen

is within 40 mm [1.57 in] of the test chamber walls. The

nonmetallic holders shall support the test specimens

between vertical to 45 ° angle during exposure. Care shall

be taken to not exceed the capacity of the conditioning

equipment. Excessive or improper loading will cause con-

densation of humidity on the surface of the test specimens.

3.3.2 Solder Pot/Bath A thermostatically controlled

static solder bath shall be used of adequate dimensions to

accommodate the test specimens. The solder bath shall

contain enough solder to maintain the temperature during

testing within the speciﬁed temperature limits (3.5.1) and

to prevent exceeding the contamination levels (3.5.2). The

wave solder pot temperature limits utilized for Test Method

D or Test Method D1 shall be deﬁned by agreement

between the user and vendor. Precautions should be taken

to avoid solder pot/bath damage due to metal erosion when

using Lead-free solder alloys.

3.3.3 Optical Inspection Equipment All test methods

requiring visual inspection shall be capable of 10X magni-

ﬁcation (see individual test methods), and may be equipped

with reticles, or equivalent, for measurement, when appli-

cable. An example of a reticle is shown in Figure 3-2.

Shadowless lighting shall be used for proper inspection.

3.3.4 Dipping Equipment Solder dipping devices shall

be mechanical/electromechanical and capable of control-

ling the immersion/emersion rates dwell time and immer-

sion depth as speciﬁed in 4.2 to 4.3.

3.3.5 Timing Equipment Timing equipment shall be

automated and accurate to the limits of the test method.

3.4 Preparation for Testing

3.4.1 Test Specimen Preparation and Conditioning for

Test

Care shall be exercised to prevent contamination

(by grease, perspiration, etc.) of the surface to be tested.

When agreed upon between user and vendor, the test speci-

men to be tested may undergo other types of pretreatments

such as degreasing, aqueous cleaning, copper and solder

brightening, or baking.

The prescribed pretreatments should reproduce actual pro-

cessing of the printed boards up to the time of assembly

soldering (see 6.3). If conditioning is performed, prebaking

is not recommended.

3.4.2 Durability Conditioning All test specimens identi-

ﬁed as requiring durability conditioning shall be subjected

to conditioning prior to solderability testing immediately

followed by a bake per 3.4.3. The durability test conditions

shall be 72 °C± 5 °C [162 °F ± 9 °F] and 85%± 3% Rela-

tive Humidity [RH]. The test specimens shall be exposed

for a test duration of eight hours ± 15 minutes.

3.4.3 Baking Immediately after conditioning and prior to

solderability testing, all boards shall be baked at 105 ± 5

°C [221 ± 9 °F] for 1 +1/-0 hours to remove surface mois-

ture and other volatiles. Test specimens shall be cooled to

room temperature prior to ﬂuxing and testing.

3.5 Solder Bath Requirements

3.5.1 Solder Temperatures

Tin/lead solderability testing

shall be done at a solder temperature of 235±5°C[473 ±

9 °F]. Lead-free solderability testing shall be done at a sol-

der temperature of 255±5°C[491 ± 9 °F].

3.5.2 Solder Contamination Control The solder in

solder baths used for solderability testing shall be chemi-

cally or spectrographically analyzed or replaced each 30

operating days. The levels of contamination and Sn content

must be within those shown in Table 3-2. The intervals

between analysis may be lengthened if the test results indi-

cate that the contamination limits are not being

approached. The composition of the lead-free solder,

including contamination levels, shall be maintained during

testing per Table 3-2 with the silver and copper element

levels adjusted for alloy requirements.

NOTE: An operating day consists of any eight-hour

period, or any portion thereof, during which the solder is

liqueﬁed and used.

If contamination exceeds the limits speciﬁed in Table 3-2,

then the solder shall be changed and the intervals between

analyses shall be shortened. A sampling plan shall be

developed, implemented, and documented, demonstrating

solder contamination process control.
