Abstract
This paper presents the investigations on the initial strength and its variation of Sn-Pb solder joint using different lead frames, such as are 42 alloy lead and Cu alloy lead. As the result of the lack of initial strength at solder joints, whose pitch is from 0.3 to 0.4mm, short circuit often occured at the solder joint by thermal shock or external impact. Therefore, in this paper investigations were performed on the initial strength and its variation of Sn-Pb solder joint as well as fractured mode with using different lead frames.
