Subject: [TN] solder joint failures

So we’ve got a new toy, and now can image SJ failures a little differently.  Requesting all experts to help me speak more intelligently about what we see.  (until AJ-820 is published ☺)

These are of major interest to me today.  It’s the easy stuff.  It’s the weak link. It’s thru hole.  As always, I may or may not know the history.  As an independent lab, our customers don’t usually tell us much.  I suppose they’re fearful that we may just regurgitate.
