Subject: Re: [TN] Solder Terminals + NASA Workmanship Std www site

Bill Brooks inquired about assorted standards that address workmanship
criteria for solder terminals.  The NASA Workmanship Standards www site
provides access to a handful of NASA stds including NASA-STD-8739.3 for
"Soldered Electrical Connections"
         http://workmanship.nasa.gov/wkstds_nasa.jsp

The site also includes a very informative "Inspection Pictorial Reference"
derived from a variety of sources including NASA, IPC and other
organizations.  This reference provides illustrations and photos of a wide
range of electronics assembly workmanship practices including citation of
acceptance/rejection criteria within the NASA std.  Many examples of solder
terminal applications are included as well as examples of conformal
coat/staking, crimp connections, fiber optic assembly, et al.
         http://workmanship.nasa.gov/insp.jsp  ( read the
description/disclaimer of this "inspection pictorial reference" )
         http://workmanship.nasa.gov/lib/insp/2%20books/frameset.html  ( to
open the actual pictorial reference )

Subject: Re: Solder Terminals
Hi Robert,
Yes... I recall the acceptability of cracks in terminals and eyelets...
Thanks for the reminder. It's been a long time since I have had to deal with
them. Your last comment on PTH swaging of terminals... I thought they didn't
allow that in the Mil Specs... there was an issue with damage to the PTH I
think... We always added multiple vias around any non-plated or plated
mechanical hole that was used for ground and/or mounting or if the board was
under any mechanical compression so as to guarantee that the continuity of
the pads on top to the planes and pads on the bottom was maintained by a via
free of mechanical compression... regardless of any single failure in a
mounting or swaged terminal hole. It was just 'good insurance'.
Do you have the specific spec numbers for those? I'd like to look at them
again.
Best regards,
