Description
Summary:This paper presents an experimental investigation where temperature measurements using thermocouples were made at several locations on J-leaded plastic quad-flat packs (PQFPs) and printed wiring boards during the reflow soldering process. Both moisture saturated and dry packages were studied, with little difference found in the measured temperature on the package surfaces. The temperature at the component lead was found to be a good approximation to the temperatures observed near the die. This provides an externally measurable parameter to assess delamination and popcorning. (Original abstract - amended)
