MIL-STD-202-208A, DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TEST METHOD STANDARD: METHOD 208, SOLDERABILITY (26-JAN-2020)

MIL-STD-202-208A, DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TEST METHOD STANDARD: METHOD 208, SOLDERABILITY (26-JAN-2020)., The purpose of this test method is to determine the solderability of all terminations which are normally joined by a soldering operation. This determination is made on the basis of the ability of these terminations to be wetted by solder and the predictability of a suitable fillet resulting from solder application. These procedures will verify that the pre-assembly lead finish provides a solderable surface of sufficient quality to enable satisfactory soldering.
