Dear Friends I hope i can get some help here, Has any one has came an standard that refer to component pull test, this obviously for Surface mount components not plated through holes as stated in IPC -TM-650. I know there are number of tools can be purchased but there are no standards to identify the amount of force should be applied. If any one has any suggestion or recommendation that would be greatly appreciated. PS: the components obviously soldered to printed circuit boards.
