4.2.2.4.2 Surface Evaluation – Accept/Reject Criteria An area of 3.0 mm [0.1 18 in] width from the trailing edge of each test specimen shall not be evaluated. Areas con- tacted by fixtures shall not be evaluated. A minimu…

0.08 in]. The dwell time in the molten solder shall be 3.0
± 0.5 seconds. Immersion and emersion rates shall be 25 ±
2 mm [0.984 ± 0.08 in] per second. After withdrawal, the
solder shall be allowed to solidify by air cooling while the
board is maintained in a vertical position. Prior to exami-
nation, all test specimens shall have the flux removed using
a cleaning agent in accordance with 3.2.3.
4.2.1.4 Evaluation
4.2.1.4.1 Magnification
Test specimens shall be exam-
ined at 10X using the equipment specified in 3.3.3.
4.2.1.4.2 Surface Evaluation – Accept/Reject Criteria
A minimum of 95% of each of the surfaces (i.e., each pad)
being tested shall exhibit good wetting. The balance of the
surface may contain only small pin holes, dewetted areas,
and rough spots provided such defects are not concentrated
in one area. For less critical applications, a smaller percent
coverage may be determined between vendor and user.
There shall be no nonwetting or exposed base metal within
the evaluated area. An area of 3.2 mm [0.126 in] width
from the bottom edge of each test specimen shall not
be evaluated. Areas contacted by fixtures shall not be
evaluated.
4.2.2 Test B – Rotary Dip Test Tin/Lead Solder This
test is for rotary dip testing of plated-through holes, surface
conductors and attachment lands.
4.2.2.1 Apparatus A device shall be used to move the
test specimen in a circular path so that the flat surface of
the test specimen will contact the solder at a constant speed
without stopping. The distance between the center of rota-
tion and the center of the test specimen shall be 100 mm
[3.937 in] minimum. An example of a test specimen holder
is shown in Figure 4-4. Those parts of the holder including
the retaining spring (if fitted) which come into contact with
the test specimen and/or the solder should have low ther-
mal capacity and conductivity. The time of contact between
any point of the test face of the test specimen and the mol-
ten solder shall be determined by a timer. The timer shall
start when the face of the test piece is parallel to the solder
surface. A strip of 50 mm [1.97 in] wide polytetrafluoroet-
hylene (PTFE) or equivalent shall precede the test speci-
men in the test cycle in order to remove oxide or flux resi-
due from the solder surface immediately before the test
specimen is introduced.
4.2.2.2 Test Specimen The test specimen shall be in
accordance with 1.7. The test specimen shall either be a
full board, a section of a board, or a suggested test speci-
men (see Figures 4-2 and 4-3). The test specimen shall be
of such a width as to allow 13 mm [0.512 in] clearance
from the solder pot sides. The minimum number of termi-
nations (plated-through holes or attachment lands) per test
specimen shall be six. If plated-through holes are to be
tested, then the minimum number of holes to be tested is
30 per test lot. This would require a minimum of five test
specimens (six holes per test specimen, 30 holes total). The
test specimen shall be representative of the product. The
exposed length of test specimen test face in the direction of
travel shall be25±5mm[0.984 ± 0.20 in]. Test specimen
preparation shall be in accordance with 3.4.
4.2.2.3 Procedure Dross and burned/residual flux shall
be completely removed from the surface of the molten sol-
der immediately prior to dipping. After fluxing and drain-
ing, per 4.1, mount the test specimen to be tested in the test
equipment test specimen holder. Adjust the test equipment
to immerse the test specimen into the solder bath to a
maximum of 50% of the test specimen thickness unless
otherwise specified. Activate the test equipment to expose
the test specimen to solder. After the test specimen has
cleared the solder bath, allow all the solder to solidify in
the position in which the machine stops before removing
from the test specimen holder. Care must be taken so
that solder does not flow over the upper face of the test
specimen. This may be impacted by the width of the test
specimen. Dwell time at the maximum depth shall be 3.0
± 0.5 seconds. Prior to examination, all test specimens
shall have the flux removed using a cleaning agent in
accordance with 3.2.3.
4.2.2.4 Evaluation
4.2.2.4.1 Magnification
Test specimens shall be exam-
ined at 10X using the equipment specified in 3.3.3.
1) Dwell timer set at 3.0 ± 0.5 seconds
2) Adjustable speed control on 100.0 mm
[3.9370 in] radius on solder station
3) Dwell at end of 100.0 mm [3.9370 in]
radius swing to allow solder to solidify

An area of 3.0 mm [0.118 in] width from the trailing edge
of each test specimen shall not be evaluated. Areas con-
tacted by fixtures shall not be evaluated. A minimum of
95% of each of the surfaces (i.e., each pad) being tested
shall exhibit good wetting. The balance of the surface may
contain only small pin holes, dewetted areas, and rough
spots provided such defects are not concentrated in one
area. For less critical applications, a smaller percent cover-
age may be determined between vendor and user. There-
shall be no nonwetting or exposed base metal within the
evaluated area.
4.2.2.4.3 Plated-Through Hole Evaluation Only plated-
through holes that are at least 5.0 mm [0.197 in] from any

enough to support the weight of the solder needed to fill the
hole. This may prevent solder from filling the plated-
through hole and wetting over the knee of the hole and out
onto the land area around the top of the hole.
4.2.3 Test C – Solder Float Test Tin/Lead Solder This
test is for solder float testing of plated-through holes, sur-
face conductors and attachment lands.
4.2.3.1 Apparatus
4.2.3.1.1 Solder Pot
The solder pot shall meet the
requirements of 3.3.2. In addition, the surface area of the
pot shall be great enough to float the test specimen without
it touching the sides of the pot.
4.2.3.1.2 Test Specimen Handling Tool Stainless steel
forceps, or other specially designed tools of stainless steel,
shall be used to handle the test specimen only by the
edges.
4.2.3.2 Test Specimen The test specimen shall be in
accordance with 1.7. The test specimen shall be a portion
of the printed board not greater than 50 x 50 mm [1.97 x
1.97 in], the suggested test specimen, or the complete
board if it is smaller than this size. The minimum number
of holes to be tested is 30 per test lot. If there are not at
least 30 holes in the test specimen, additional specimens
shall be tested until at least 30 holes have been tested (see
Figure 4-2 Through-Hole Test specimen). Test specimen
preparation shall be in accordance with 3.4.
4.2.3.3 Procedure Dross and burned/residual flux shall
be completely removed from the surface of the molten sol-
der immediately prior to floating. After fluxing and drain-
ing per 4.1, slide the test specimen gently on the molten
solder. Allow test specimen to float on solder for five sec-
onds maximum. The test specimen may be depressed into
the solder bath to a maximum of 50% of the test specimen
thickness after it has been initially floated on the solder
bath (extreme care must be taken with boards that are less
than 0.8 mm [0.031 in] thick). After the elapsed time, slide
the test specimen off molten solder. Hold test specimen still
and horizontal until solder solidifies. Prior to examination,
all test specimens shall have the flux removed using a
cleaning agent in accordance with 3.2.3.
4.2.3.4 Evaluation
4.2.3.4.1 Magnification
Test specimens shall be exam-
ined at 10X using the equipment specified in 3.3.3.
4.2.3.4.2 Surface Evaluation – Accept/Reject Criteria
An area of 3.0 mm [0.118 in] width from the trailing edge
of each test specimen shall not be evaluated. Areas con-
tacted by fixtures shall not be evaluated. A minimum of
95% of each of the surfaces (i.e., each pad) being tested
shall exhibit good wetting. The balance of the surface may
contain only small pin holes, dewetted areas, and rough
spots provided such defects are not concentrated in one
area. For less critical applications, a smaller percent cover-
age may be determined between vendor and user. There
shall be no nonwetting or exposed base metal within the
evaluated area.
4.2.3.4.3 Plated-Through Hole Evaluation Only plated-
through holes that are at least 3.0 mm [0.118 in] from any
surface or fixturing structure supporting the test specimen
during the test will be evaluated.
Accept/Reject Criteria:
• Class 1 and 2 Product – Solder shall fully wet the wall
area of the plated-through holes, and plug holes less than
1.5 mm [0.0591 in] diameter (complete filling is not nec-
essary).
• Class 3 Product – The test specimen has soldered suc-
cessfully if solder has risen in all plated-through holes.
The solder shall have fully wetted the walls of the hole.
There shall be no nonwetting or exposed base metal on
any plated-through hole.
Accept/reject criterion for board thicknesses of <3.0 mm
[<0.118 in] shall be in accordance with 5.2 and Figures 4-5
and 4-6. The solder must have wet over the knee of the
hole and out onto the land around the top of the hole,
except for boards whose thickness exceeds 3.0 mm [0.118
in].
On thick boards, i.e., greater than 3.0 mm [0.118 in] the
capillary forces due to surface tension may not be large
enough to support the weight of the solder needed to fill the
hole. This may prevent solder from filling the plated-
through hole and wetting over the knee of the hole and out
onto the land area around the top of the hole.
4.2.4 Test D – Wave Solder Test Tin/Lead Solder This
test is for wave solder testing of plated-through holes, sur-
face conductors, and attachment lands.
4.2.4.1 Apparatus A wave soldering system adjusted to
provide the parameters of 4.2.4.3 shall be used.
4.2.4.2 Test Specimen The suggested test specimen
shall be in accordance with Figures 4-2 and 4-3 and 1.7.
Test specimen preparation shall be in accordance with 3.4.
4.2.4.3 Procedure Test specimens shall be fixtured so as
to be representative of the production setup without com-
ponents inserted. The fluxing unit should be filled with the
specific (3.2.2) or agreed upon flux. If the unit contains
other than the specified or agreed upon flux then the flux-
ing unit shall be turned off and the board test specimens
fluxed separately prior to placement on the conveyor per
4.1. The following parameters must be established and
noted: board fixturing (if required), conveyor speed, pre-
heater, solder unit with or without oil intermix, machine
