Hi Bev,
saw once that a crack must never be longer that the size of the solder grain size. As soon as the crack exceeds that size, it's a presumptive danger. Sounds a bit of an exaggeration to me, but have seen that expression more than once.

Subject: [TN] cracks in solder joints
Hopefully this will start off a nice discussion. I have kept it general for
that purpose.
Shades of voids in BGAs... How big of a crack in thermally cycled solder
joints is too big of a crack?
