Abstract :
Thermomechanical simulation of solder joints of J-leaded components has permitted optimizations of the mounting process and provided confidence and time-saving before running qualification tests. The difficulties and the cost of performing solder joint inspection have led to their replacement by novel quality insurance procedures. The first experimental results are promising
