If, by RF fence, you are referring to the bottom part of a two part shield, then the same requirements as butt joint soldering is applied.  If you are referring to a solid can shield where you cannot see the inside solder joints, then it is still a butt joint but xray inspection may be needed to see the interior soldering.  I expect to find good wetting to the pad and to the shield everywhere the design permits a connection to be made.

If you intended to discuss something else, please describe.

Subject: [TN] RF Fence Soldering

What criteria do you use to evaluate solder joints on RF fences? IPC 001 and 610 don't seem to cover this application
