(Main)Environmental testing - Part 2-69: Tests - Test Te/Tc: Solderability testing of electronic components and printed boards by the wetting balance (force measurement) method
Environmental testing - Part 2-69: Tests - Test Te/Tc: Solderability testing of electronic components and printed boards by the wetting balance (force measurement) method
This part of IEC 60068 outlines test Te/Tc, the solder bath wetting balance method and the
solder globule wetting balance method to determine, quantitatively, the solderability of the
terminations. Data obtained by these methods are not intended to be used as absolute
quantitative data for pass–fail purposes.
The procedures describe the solder bath wetting balance method and the solder globule
wetting balance method. They are applicable to components and printed boards with metallic
terminations and metallized solder pads.
This document provides the measurement procedures for solder alloys both with and without
lead (Pb).

Essais d'environnement - Partie 2-69: Essais - Essai Te: Essai de brasabilité des composants électroniques pour les composants montés en surface (CMS) par la méthode de la balance de mouillage
L'IEC 60068-2-69:2017 spécifie l'essai Te/Tc, la méthode de la balance de mouillage au bain de brasure et la méthode de la balance de mouillage à la goutte de brasure, pour déterminer quantitativement la brasabilité des sorties. Ces méthodes ne servent pas à fournir des données quantitatives absolues utilisées dans le cadre d'acception ou de rejet.
Les modes opératoires décrivent la méthode de la balance de mouillage au bain de brasure ainsi que la méthode de la balance de mouillage à la goutte de brasure. Ces deux méthodes sont applicables aux composants et aux cartes imprimées munis de sorties métalliques et de plots de brasage métallisés.
Le présent document fournit les modes opératoires de mesure pour les alliages de brasage avec et sans plomb (Pb).
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- intégration de l'IEC 60068-2-54;
- introduction d'essais de cartes imprimées;
- intégration de nouveaux types de composants et actualisation des paramètres d'essai pour la liste complète des composants;
- introduction d'un nouveau protocole d'essai R&R de jauge pour assurer que la balance de mouillage est correctement étalonnée.

ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING –
Part 2-69: Tests – Test Te/Tc: Solderability testing of
electronic components and printed boards
by the wetting balance (force measurement) method
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60068-2-69 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 91:
Electronics assembly technology.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2007 as well as the
second edition of IEC 60068-2-54 published in 2006 and constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
• integration of IEC 60068-2-54;
• inclusion of tests of printed boards;
• inclusion of new component types, and updating test parameters for the whole component
list;

• inclusion of a new gauge R & R test protocol to ensure that the respective wetting balance
equipment is correctly calibrated.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
91/1405/FDIS 91/1426/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 60068 series, under the general title Environmental testing, can be
found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to
the specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
