Mechanical Stress

The following factors make up the majority of the mechanical stress in the assembly production process:

1. The force that tooling equipment exerts on PCBA when it is in use. The second side of the double-sided printing may be misaligned, leading to fractures or damage to the top-mounted components, for instance, when the PCBA is taken apart from a particularly tight clamp. Either the board is defective or the parts are harmed.

2. The force of the welding process on the PCBA changes quickly between cold and hot conditions. When the temperature differential is too great during the PCBA reflow soldering, wave soldering, and hand soldering procedures, the PCB may distort. Stress fractures develop in the ceramic and glass components of the component as a result of mechanical stress brought on by solder curing on PCB components. Stress cracking is a detrimental aspect that has an impact on solder junctions' long-term dependability.

3, the ability to withstand mechanical shock from contact and falling when the PCBA board is handled incorrectly. Mechanical impact often does not harm solder junctions. However, the welded structure may also have additional weak points. For instance, the significant inertia force of a big, heavy leaded component subjected to a mechanical impact may result in the component itself being destroyed in addition to the copper plate on the PCB peeling or breaking.

4. Improper PCBA package protection and tolerance for vibration during transit.
