David:

Obviously there is a point (more like a cliff edge) where any component will
fail. I have internally asked our reliability department to come up with an
assembly "not to exceed" profile (maximum ramp/cooling rate and maximum
time/temperature etc) that could be used as boundary conditions for this
project.

The comment that came back was that this is "IMPOSSIBLE" considering all the
different packages/materials used for IC's and Discretes.

Maybe this is the time to consider the elimination of the solder assembly
process?

        Are there any component manufacturers involved in this forum who could
        comment on the issue below (and others)?

        Thanks,
