Dear Technetters, Recently, we faced a solderability problem on our fab. I have the following questions for assembly houses. (1) How many assembly houses perform solderability test using solder-sample fab? (2) Is there any information as how effective this test is? I mean any lot went bad still after doing solderability test (at assembly house). My management wants to know the overall industry trend and effectiveness of the test to make decision. re, Ken Patel ______________________________________________________ Ken Patel Phone: (408) 490-6804 1708 McCarthy Blvd. Fax: (408) 490-6859 Milpitas, CA 95035 Beeper: (888) 769-1808 ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC's web site (http://www.ipc.org) "On-Line Services" section for additional information.
