Hi TechNetters,
I'm planning an experiment to test adhesive screen printing used to attach bottomside components to a PCB. My first thought for how to test this is to measure the strength of the adhesive bond between the board and the components. Is anyone out there familiar with the equipment and steps required to perform what I've heard referred to as a "pull test"? And, are there any other variables/parameters that are useful to measure in a test of adhesive screen printing?
