TEST METHOD B102E
SOLDERABILITY
(From JEDEC Board Ballot JCB-04-77 and JCB-07-79, formulated under the cognizance of the JC-14.1 Subcommittee on Reliability Test Methods for Packaged Devices.)
1 Scope
This test method provides optional conditions for preconditioning and soldering for the purpose of assessing the solderability of device package terminations. It provides procedures for dip & look solderability testing of through hole, axial and surface mount devices and a surface mount process simulation test for surface mount packages.
The purpose of this test method is to provide a means of determining the solderability of device package terminations that are intended to be joined to another surface using lead- (Pb-)
containing or Pb-free solder for the attachment.
2 General summary
2.1 Preconditioning
An accelerated precondition is generally used before Solderability testing to simulate package storage. The following are options for preconditioning. The user and supplier need to agree on the precondition requirements.

2 General summary (cont’d)
2.2 Solderability testing
This test standard describes methods by which package terminations may be evaluated for solderability. Typically Pb containing terminations are evaluated using SnPb solderability test conditions and Pb-free terminations use Pb-free test conditions. If Pb-free terminations are to be used in an SnPb solder process (backward compatibility) then they should be evaluated using test parameters consistent with standard SnPb SMT reflow conditions. The backward compatibility test does not apply to Pb-free BGA type packages.
Method 1 - Dip and Look Test: This test is for leaded and leadless terminations.
Method 2 - Surface Mount Process Simulation Test: This method may be used for SMD packages as an alternative to the dip and look test method 1.

5 Test procedures (cont’d)
5.2 Method 1 - dip and look test
The test procedure shall consist of the following operations:
a) Preparation of the terminations, if applicable.
b) Preconditioning, if applicable.
c) Application of flux and immersion of the terminations into molten solder.
d) Examination and evaluation of the tested portions of the terminations.
5.2.1 Preparation of terminations
If the insulation on stranded wires must be removed, it shall be done in a manner so as not to loosen the strands in the wire.
5.2.2 Preconditioning (if applicable)
Precondition the test parts per 5.1.
5.2.3 Application of flux
Type ROL1 flux shall be used, unless otherwise specified (see 3.7.1). Terminations shall be immersed (using a mechanical dipper) in the flux, which is at room ambient temperature, to the minimum depth necessary to cover the surface to be tested. The fixturing should be designed to avoid trapping of excess flux. The surface to be tested shall be immersed in the flux per the time specified in Table 3, and shall be drained 5 to 20 seconds prior to dipping into the solder pot. The flux shall be covered when not in use and discarded a minimum of once a day.
5.2.3.1 Surface mounted devices
For surface mount packages, that portion of the package lead that will be inspected shall be covered by the flux application. Perform the test using the leads on only one side of the package at a time. The fluxing and solder dipping operations shall be performed sequentially on the leads of the package side under test.
5.2.3.2 All other devices
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable procurement document, terminations shall be immersed to the seating plane or to within 1.27 mm (0.05 inch) of the body of the device under test.

Leadless (SM) Surface Mount 20 to 45 deg
5.2.4 Solder dip
The dross and burned flux shall be skimmed from the surface of the molten solder specified in 3.7.2. The molten solder shall be maintained at the specified temperature in Table 3. The surface of the molten solder shall be skimmed again just prior to immersing the terminations into the solder. The part shall be attached to a dipping device (see 3.3) and the flux-covered terminations immersed once in the molten solder to the same depth specified in 5.2.3. The dip conditions are specified in Table 3. After the dipping process, the part shall be allowed to cool in the air. Residual flux shall be removed from the terminations either by sequential rinses in isopropyl alcohol, or by a rinse in a suitable commercial non-CFC solvent. If necessary, a soft damp cloth or cotton swab moistened with clean isopropyl alcohol or solvent may be used to remove all remaining flux.
5.2.5 Inspection and failure criteria
All flux is to be removed prior to visual inspection of the terminal surface.
?Inspect all devices at 10x to 20x magnification.
?The inspected area of each lead must have 95% solder coverage minimum.
?Pinholes, voids, porosity, nonwetting, or dewetting shall not exceed 5 percent of the total inspected area.
?There shall be no solder bridging between any termination area and any other metallization not connected to it by design. In the event that the solder dipping causes bridging, the test
shall not be considered a failure provided that a local application of heat (e.g., gas,
soldering iron, or redipping) results in solder pullback and no wetting of the dielectric area as indicated by microscopic examination.
NOTE The total area of the surface to be tested (including all faces for rectangular leads) as specified in Figures 1 through 5 shall be examined. In the case of a dispute, the percentage of coverage with pinholes
or voids shall be determined by the actual measurement of those areas, compared to the total area(s).

5.2.5 Inspection and failure criteria (cont’d)
5.2.5.4 Definition of the inspected area (Critical Area)
a) Dual Inline Packages - For Dual Inline Packages the inspected area is from the termination
tip to a plane 0.51 mm (0.020 inch) above the seating plane (see Figure 1). Areas normally designed to be unplated (trim areas) are excluded.
b) Gull Wing Packages - For Gull Wing packages the inspected area is defined as all surfaces of
the termination at or below the plane of the top of the foot, excluding the top of the foot (see Figure 2). Areas normally designed to be unplated (trim areas) are excluded.
c) J-lead Packages: For J-lead packages the inspected area is the narrow portion of the
termination below the transition from the termination shoulder (see Figure 3). Only the three visible surfaces are to be included. The termination tip is excluded.
d) Tantalum Chip Capacitors: For these packages the inspected area is defined as the bottom of
the termination and one times the lead thickness up the side of the termination (see Figure 4).
Termination edges are excluded.
e) Rectangular Passive Components (Resistor/Capacitor/Inductor): The inspected area is
defined as the underside of the termination and side of the termination up to the solder paste minimum thickness (see Figure 5). Termination edges are excluded.
f) Other Packages: For packages other than described in (a through e) the inspected area is that
which is 1.27 mm (0.05 inch) from the body and extends away from the body to the end of the lead or for a distance of 25.4 mm (1 inch).

5.3 Method 2 - surface mount process simulation test
This procedure may be used for surface mounted devices as an alternative to the Method 1 Dip and Look procedure of section 5.2. Fine pitch gull wing leads (spacing < 0.51 mm (20 mils)) sometimes cannot be tested adequately with the dip & look method. The Dip and Look test is also inappropriate for BGA’s.
NOTE This procedure comes from EIA-638, “Surface Mount Solderability Test”
The test procedure shall consist of the following operations:
a) Preconditioning, if applicable.
b) Print solder paste.
c) Place component on solder paste.
d)Reflow, cool and remove flux.
e)Examination and evaluation of the tested terminations.
5.3.1 Preconditioning (if applicable)
Precondition the test parts per 5.1.
5.3.2 Specimen preparation and surface condition
All component leads or terminations shall be tested under the condition that they would normally be in at the time of assembly soldering. The specimens to be tested shall not be touched by fingers or otherwise contaminated, nor shall the leads or terminations being tested be wiped, cleaned, scraped or abraded. The steps are listed.
1) Place solder paste onto screen and print the terminal pattern onto the substrate by wiping the
paste over the screen using either a spatula for fine pitch or a squeegee for standard pitch.
Nominal stencil thickness is described in section 3.6.1.
2) Remove the screen carefully so as to avoid smearing the paste print. Verify a paste print
equivalent in geometry to the terminal of the device to be tested.
3) Using tweezers, place the terminals of the unit on the solder paste print. Avoid touching the
unit so that the terminals will not be contaminated with skin oils. Verify part placement by appropriate magnification.
4) Place the substrate on the applicable reflow equipment and subject the substrate and
components to the reflow process condition per Table 3b.
5) After reflow, carefully remove substrate with components and allow to cool.
6) After specimen has cooled to room temperature, remove component from substrate using
tweezers. Terminals may adhere slightly to substrate due to flux residue.
7) Remove any flux residue by using appropriate cleaning solution.
