Solderability Test

Solderability test refers to the process of evaluating the solderability of terminations (i.e., component leads, lugs, terminals, wires, etc.). which are normally joined by a soldering operation. The solderability determination is based on the ability of the terminations to be wetted by the molten solder after accelerated aging.

High reliability assembled PCB prototypes as well as novel surface mounted devices (SMD) and mixed systems must be assessed according to well defined qualification test plans. Such high reliability verification programmes are not limited to just evaluate the robustness, reliability and performance of the product but they also address the verification of tools, fabrication procedures and involved materials, as well as the confirmation of product integrity. For instance, ECSS (European Cooperation for Space Standardization” (ECSS) standards used in space programs
