CERTIFICATION
All instruments and measuring equipment were calibrated to National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST)
traceable standards according to IS0 10012-l and ANSI/NCSL 2540-1, as applicable.
All contents contained herein are the property of Samtec. No portion of this report, in part or in full shall be
reproduced without prior written approval of Samtec.
SCOPE
To perform the following tests: Solder Joint Reliability and life expectancy predictions via Thermal Cycling of TinSilver-Copper (SAC) and Tin-Lead (SnPb).
SAMPLES TESTED
Three groups of SEAF/SEAM connectors were evaluated with stack heights of 7 or 10 mm:
• Group A: SAC, 7 mm stack (SEAF 5.0 mm + SEAM 2.0 mm)
• Group C: SAC, 10 mm stack (SEAF 6.5 mm + SEAM 3.5 mm)
• Group D: SnPb, 10 mm stack (SEAF 6.5 mm + SEAM 3.5 mm)
RELIABILITY PROJECTIONS
1. Life expectancy is calculated for field service conditions of 25ºC to 45ºC and 25ºC to 55ºC cycles
based on lower bound values of Weibull parameters.
2. Field use cycles are calculated at 6 (Cycles/Day) x 365.25 (Days/Year) = 2191.5 Cycles/Year.

THERMAL CYCLING:
Thermal Cycling was performed in accordance with Table 4-1 of IPC-9701A and the following test conditions:
1) Thermal Limits: Low Temperature = 0° C +0/- 3° C; High Temperature = 100° C + 5/- 0° C
2) Dwell Time at Thermal Limits: Ten (10) minutes
3) Ramp Time to Thermal Limits: Ten (10) minutes
FIGURE 3: Accelerated thermal cycling profile.

chamber and attached to PCB on 5 random samples. The solid line represents the chamber air temperature and the

CONFIGURATION
FIGURE 4: Groups A, C, & D consists of 32 mounted mated pair samples each. Group B was mounted but not
tested. Signal routing is daisy-chained through all positions on each sample facilitating 100% contact monitoring.
EVENT DETECTION:
1) Events are established in accordance with Paragraph 4.3.3.3 of IPC-9701A and Table 4-4.
2) An event is defined as a Signal Interruption exceeding 1000 Ω lasting for greater than 200 nanoseconds.
FAILURE CRITERIA:
1) Failures were established in accordance with Paragraph 4.3.3.3 of IPC-9701A and Table 4-4
2) A failure was defined as 10 events within an elapsed time of 10% of the thermal cycles to the initial
event. I.e. if the first event happens at cycle 1000, 9 more events need to happen by cycle 1100.
3) Thermal Cycling was terminated when ≥62% of the product fails or 6000 cycles are completed. This test
was stopped at 5929 cycles because the cooling compressor on the Thermotron chamber failed at that
cycle.

RESULTS
Group A (SAC, 7 mm stack assemblies):
Four failures out of 32 monitored daisy chains at 5929 test cycles
Failure Percentage ------------------------------------------------------12.5%
• Failure#1--------------------------------------------------------4919
• Failure#2--------------------------------------------------------5027
• Failure#3--------------------------------------------------------5470
• Failure#4--------------------------------------------------------5752
The Weibull shape parameter was determined using the same β as for SnPb assembly, i.e. β = 4.736
Characteristic life was then estimated from Weibull equation:
% Fail at 1st failure = 1/32 = 1-exp[ -(6917 / α )^4.736 ]
which gives α = 14,331 .
Group C (SAC, 10 mm stack assemblies):
One failure out of 32 monitored daisy chains at 5929 test cycles
Failure Percentage ------------------------------------------------------3.1%
• Failure#1--------------------------------------------------------2666
Two-parameter Weibull analysis of failure cycles gives:
Characteristic life: α = Cycles to 63.2% Failures = 11270 cycles
Shape parameter (slope of Weibull distribution): β = 4.736
Group D (SnPb, 10 mm stack assemblies):
Two failure out of 32 monitored daisy chains at 5929 test cycles
Failure Percentage ------------------------------------------------------6.3%
• Failure#1--------------------------------------------------------4254
• Failure#2--------------------------------------------------------5691
Two-parameter Weibull analysis of failure cycles gives:
Characteristic life: α = Cycles to 63.2% Failures = 11270 cycles
Shape parameter (slope of Weibull distribution): β = 4.736

CROSS SECTION ANALYSIS
1. Cross sectional metallographic evaluation was performed on all 3 groups of SJR samples. Revealing the
microstructure of the solder joints depicts the cracks that caused failures in samples.
2. Cross sections were taken on:
i. Group A: Three failure samples of SAC, 7 mm stack
ii. Group C: One failure and two passing samples of SAC, 10 mm stack
iii. Group D: Two failures and one passing sample of SnPb, 10 mm stack
