All-
When sourcing precision thick-film SMT chip resistors with wrap-around
contacts, how does one typically control the quality of the delivered
product; i.e., contact solderability, contact integrity, etc? In other
words, what is the industry standard specification(s) that are typically
called out for such components? What is the appropriate IPC or EIA standard?
I am also interested in finding out what tests can be conducted to determine
the solderability of wrap-around contacts on SMT chip resistors.
I'm currently experiencing contact dewetting during reflow on about 20% of
the resistors obtained from a particular manufacturer. There also appears to
be a significant number of chips with cracks in the wrap-around contacts.
Thanks in advance for any information you may be able to provide.
Regards,
Kent
