Technetters - I know someone has this information at their fingertips.
I'm in an argument with someone about a socket, and I have to prove that
a gorilla would have to stand on the part to shear the solder joints
holding the socket on the board (it's a PGA component).  Can someone
tell me the shear strength of solder?  I'm going to construct a very
crude mathematical model.

As always, Thanks!
