Ken,

     Solder samples are for:

     1.- To check solderability of your boards.

     2.- Solder samples are the rejects of your PCB Supplier.

     3.- Are useful for show and tell samples, to run reflow oven profiles, to
     check SMT placements with double side adhesive tape (if pads are good),
     etc.

Hi all,
We receive solder sample with every lot. Can anyone tell me the what should
we do with that? Does our assembly house has any added value for us? Does
IPC has any guideline for solder sample?

Happy Friday to all off you.
