I am in the middle of an issue concerning a high temperature Laminate
and low pull force copper pads.  The copper can be pulled from the PWB
with low pull forces and are failing in the field.

I have examined multiple damaged PWBs and have found that in ALL cases
the damage is the failure of the copper to epoxy bond.  A good PWB will
normally fail within the laminate material.  

The units are built using Pb-free processes with Pb-free components.  I
am trying to determine what can be done to show that the laminate is not
good or in the PWB manufacturer did not laminage the layers correctly.
I do not have easy access to bare PWBs that have not been processed.

 

Any help or direction would be welcomed.  

 

Thanks,

Mark
