Techno's I have an anomaly that I wonder if anyone out there can help me with. My customer is asking me to come up with a Pull Strength value. The discription of the anomaly is that I have a 42 gauge, Copper ciol wire that is hand soldered to a gold plated terminal. I need to quantify the strength of the solder bond of the 42 gauge wire that is soldered to the gold lead. I want to due a pull test of the wire with a Chillion Pull gage. Does anyone out there know what the value that is considered to pull a wire away from solder? How is this test performed?
