PCB Test Points for High-Temperature Solder
Aerco is offering a range of high-temperature HT SMOX surface-mount test points, an extension of the PCB interconnect product range from Oxley Developments. Higher-temperature versions have been introduced to cater for more aggressive soldering profiles that have sustained temperatures higher than 200C - as used, for example, while using RoHS-compliant SAC solder. The HT SMOX test points have an additional nickel undercoat to give a more robust finish that ensures the correct adhesion properties are achieved at higher temperatures.
The SMOX range features select-on test terminals that provide accurate line tests in PCB assembly. According to the company, it is the only surface-mount ball-and-socket test point available that is designed to provide low contact resistance and easy connection and detachment. SMOX test points are available loose or on tape and reel for ease of assembly and can be placed accurately by pick-and-place machines, even in congested board layouts. High-quality solder joints against IPC 610 Class 3 can be achieved at temperatures between 179C to 300C for SN62 and between 225C and 300C for 96S and SAC.
