If you are a reliability engineer, a PCB designer, or work in SMT assembly, you have likely heard the term "Strain Gauge Test" thrown around. But what is the actual rulebook for this test?
: National Instruments (NI) provides a comprehensive paper titled " ipc-9704 pdf
The IPC-9704 standard provides a comprehensive framework for ensuring the reliability and performance of high-reliability PCBs. The standard covers various aspects of PCB design, manufacture, and inspection, including: Demystifying IPC-9704: The Critical Standard for PCB Strain
Board Testing: In-circuit testing (ICT) and functional testing. Visual Inspection : Methods for visually inspecting printed
Mechanical Assembly: Heatsink installation, board stiffener assembly, and system integration. Logistics: Handling during the shipping environment.
