Unless otherwise specified all test and measurements shall
be made at a temperature of 15 to 35 ¡C and at a relative
humidity of 45 to 75 %RH. If results obtained are doubted a
further test should be carried out at a temperature of 20±
2 ¡C and a relative humidity of 60 to 70 %RH.

Test Method
Specifications
After securing the specimen by the body with tweezers and
dipping in to the specified soldering flux, the specimen shall
be completely immersed into a soldering bath having a
temperature of 235±5 ¡C for 4±1 seconds. And then the
specimen shall be visually examined.
Approximately 75 %
of the terminals shall
be covered with new
solder
Solderability
Use the specified soldering flux and solder following:
Soldering Flux: Ethanol solution of rosin about 25 % by weight
Solder: Eutectic solder (Sn 63 : Pb 37)
uniformly,
After preheating the specimen according to the following
conditions in Table-1, the specimen shall be completely
immersed into a soldering bath having a temperature of 270±5
¡C for 3±0.5 seconds. And then be stored at room No remarkable
temperature for 24±2 hours. Thereafter, the change of V
and the mechanical damage shall be examined.
