of electronic components for surface mounting devices (SMD)

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.
International Standard IEC 60068-2-83 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 91:
Electronics assembly technology.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

1 Scope
This part of IEC 60068 provides methods for comparative investigation of the wettability of the
metallic terminations or metallized terminations of SMDs with solder pastes.
Data obtained by these methods are not intended to be used as absolute quantitative data for
pass – fail purposes.
NOTE Different solderability test methods for SMD are described in IEC 60068-2-58 and IEC 60068-2-69.
IEC 60068-2-58 prescribes visual evaluation using solder bath and reflow method, IEC 60068-2-69 prescribes
wetting balance evaluation using solder bath and solder globule method.

4.1 General description
The specimen is held on a holder suitable to the specimen and is suspended from sensitive
balance. The specimen is immersed into solder paste applied onto the test jig plate, then
solder paste is heated to melt. The resultant of the vertical forces of buoyancy and surface
tension (hereafter, referred to as “acting force”) acting upon the immersed specimen by force
sensor and converted into a signal which is continuously recorded or monitored as a function
of time on recorder.
NOTE The wetting force can be evaluated only for components of the same shape and size. The absolute
evaluation is not achieved by this method.
4.2 Test methods
There are three methods as described below. The choice of the method shall be specified in
the relevant specification.
a) Quick heating method: The wettability of electrodes of a component is evaluated while the
solder paste is melted in a rapid temperature rise. The specimen is immersed in the solder
paste before the temperature rise starts.
b) Synchronous method: The wettability of electrodes of a component is evaluated while the
solder paste is melted due to a rapid temperature rise. The specimen is immersed in the
solder paste when the temperature rise starts.
c) Temperature profile method: Solder paste is melted using a similar temperature profile
used in production and the wettability of the electrodes of a component is evaluated.
NOTE 1 This test (Tf) may be applicable to leaded SMD packages. In order to achieve comparable and
repeatable results, test Tf should be done on straight leads.
NOTE 2 Solder paste to be used is not specified in this standard.
5 Preconditioning
Unless otherwise specified in the detailed specification of the component, the test shall be
made on the specimens as received and care shall be taken not to contaminate the
specimens by fingers and other items. The specimen may be immersed in organic solvent at
room temperature to remove possible contamination such as grease attached to the surface if
the preconditioning is specified in the specification. No other method shall be used to clean
the specimen. The specimen thus cleaned may be dried in air.
