Yehuda,
1. Besides Bill himself I know that both Randy Reed of Merix and Octavian Iordache
of Circo Craft have experience with the test system. Contact me off the Technet if
you need contact information.
2. Very preliminary information that we (IPC Post Separation TG and PTV Reliability
TG) have indicates that it does. Contact Lisa Williams of the IPC staff to obtain
the Post Separation TG minutes from Expo ‘97. These Task Groups are in the process
of preparing a test plan that intends to verify this as well as correlate the results
to the existing thermal stress (solder float) test. This test plan will likely be
the main topic of discussion at the upcoming IPCWorks meeting in Washington.
3. I am personally working on a proposed IPC-TM-650 Test Method (2.6.26) that I can
send to you if you wish.
