Environmental testing - Part 2-58: Tests - Test Td: Test methods for solderability, resistance to dissolution of metallization and to soldering heat of surface mounting devices (SMD)

This part of IEC 60068 outlines test Td, applicable to surface mounting devices (SMD).
This standard provides procedures for determining the solderability and resistance to
soldering heat of devices in applications using solder alloys, which are eutectic or near
eutectic tin lead (Pb), or lead-free alloys.
The procedures use either a solder bath or reflow method and are applicable only to
specimens or products designed to withstand short term immersion in molten solder or limited
exposure to reflow systems.
The solder bath method is applicable to SMDs designed for flow soldering and SMDs
designed for reflow soldering when the solder bath (dipping) method is appropriate.
The reflow method is applicable to the SMD designed for reflow soldering, to determine the
suitability of SMDs for reflow soldering and when the solder bath (dipping) method is not
appropriate.
The objective of this standard is to ensure solderability of component lead or termination. In
addition, test methods are provided to ensure that the component body can resist against the
heat load to which it is exposed during soldering.

Essais d'environnement - Partie 2-58: Essais - Essai Td: Méthodes d'essai de la soudabilité, résistance de la métallisation à la dissolution et résistance à la chaleur de brasage des composants pour montage en surface (CMS)

L'IEC 60068-2-58:2015 décrit l'essai Td applicable aux composants pour montage en surface (CMS). La présente norme fournit des procédures pour déterminer la brasabilité et la résistance à la chaleur de brasage des composants dans les applications qui utilisent des alliages de brasure, qui sont des alliages étain-plomb eutectiques ou quasi eutectiques (Pb), ou des alliages sans plomb.
Les procédures utilisent soit une méthode du bain de brasage, soit une méthode de brasage par fusion, et sont applicables uniquement aux éprouvettes ou produits conçus pour résister à une immersion de courte durée dans une brasure fondue ou à une exposition limitée aux systèmes de brasage par fusion. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- ajout d'un alliage de brasure Sn-Bi à faible température;
- ajout de plusieurs conditions d'essai de brasage par fusion dans le Tableau 7 - Résistance à la chaleur de brasage - Conditions d'essai et sévérité, méthode de brasage par fusion;
- introduction d'une méthode d'essai de brasage par fusion pour l'essai Td3: Démouillage et résistance de la métallisation à la dissolution;
- application de lignes directrices pour le choix de la sévérité d'essai à l'article B.3.

Okoljsko preskušanje - 2-58. del: Preskusi - Preskus Td: preskusna metoda za spajkanje, odpornost površinsko montiranih komponent (SMD) proti razkrajanju pokovinjenja in vročini spajke

Ta del standarda IEC 60068 opisuje preskus Td, ki velja za površinsko montirane komponente (SMD). Ta standard določa postopke za določanje spajkanja in odpornosti naprav proti vročini spajke pri uporabi zlitin za spajke, ki so evtektične zlitine, skoraj evtektične zlitine kositer-svinec ali zlitine brez svinca.
V postopkih se uporablja staljena spajkalna zlitina ali metoda pretaljevanja z vročim zrakom ali v dušikovi atmosferi, veljajo pa samo za preskušance ali izdelke, ki so zasnovani, da zdržijo kratkotrajno potopitev v staljeno spajkalno zlitino ali omejeno izpostavljenost sistemom za pretaljevanje z vročim zrakom.
Metoda staljene spajkalne zlitine velja za površinsko montirane komponente, zasnovane za valovno spajkanje, in površinsko montirane komponente, zasnovane za pretaljevanje z vročim zrakom ali v dušikovi atmosferi, ko je primerna metoda s staljeno spajkalno zlitino. Metoda pretaljevanja z vročim zrakom ali v dušikovi atmosferi velja za površinsko montirane komponente, zasnovane za pretaljevanje z vročim zrakom ali v dušikovi atmosferi, za določanje primernosti površinsko montiranih komponent za pretaljevanje z vročim zrakom ali v dušikovi atmosferi, in kadar metoda s staljeno spajkalno zlitino ni primerna.
Cilj tega standarda je zagotoviti spajkanje elektrod ali končnikov komponent. Preskusne metode zagotavljajo tudi, da je telo komponente odporno proti toplotni obremenitvi, ki ji je izpostavljeno med spajkanjem.

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 60068-2-58 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 91:
Electronics assembly technology.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition, published in 2004 and constitutes a
technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous

Part 2-58: Tests –
Test Td: Test methods for solderability, resistance
to dissolution of metallization and to soldering heat
of surface mounting devices (SMD)



1 Scope
This part of IEC 60068 outlines test Td, applicable to surface mounting devices (SMD).
This standard provides procedures for determining the solderability and resistance to
soldering heat of devices in applications using solder alloys, which are eutectic or near
eutectic tin lead (Pb), or lead-free alloys.
The procedures use either a solder bath or reflow method and are applicable only to
specimens or products designed to withstand short term immersion in molten solder or limited
exposure to reflow systems.
The solder bath method is applicable to SMDs designed for flow soldering and SMDs
designed for reflow soldering when the solder bath (dipping) method is appropriate.
The reflow method is applicable to the SMD designed for reflow soldering, to determine the
suitability of SMDs for reflow soldering and when the solder bath (dipping) method is not
appropriate.
The objective of this standard is to ensure solderability of component lead or termination. In
addition, test methods are provided to ensure that the component body can resist against the
heat load to which it is exposed during soldering.
This standard covers tests Td , Td and Td as listed be
