A soldered joint shall bemechanically secure before soldering. A surface mount component
4、 not exceeding a maximum dimensionof 13 mm (0.5 in) need not comply with this requirement. Soldered joints that comply with 8.19 areconsidered to comply with this requirement.8.19 Evaluation of tack-soldered electrical connections8.19.1 Part A Loose connection8.19.1.1 To determine if a cracked or ot
5、herwise unreliable solder joint is capable of hazardous arcing, theconnection in question shall be subjected to the Arcing Test described in Supplement SD of UL 935,Standard for fluorescent ballasts.8.19.1.2 For the test, the conductor to the soldered joint shall be cut and connected to the arcing t

10、can potentially result in a fire or electric shock risk. This decision provides an alternative investigativeapproach to determine if these risks exist in a particular circuit.Part A is intended to determine the risk from arcing caused by a loose, intermittent or otherwise unreliableelectrical connec
11、tion. The UL 935 arcing tester is used create a gap in the connection. This apparatus waschosen since it is already used to determine if electrical arcing will occur between a fluorescent lamp andits lampholder in the event of the lamp becoming loose. The tester creates a gap between a threadedbrass
12、 rod and a piece of 0.003” thick brass foil at a rate of approx. 0.4mm per minute. The foil is used asthe test indicator. A hole formed in the foil would indicate evidence of potentially hazardous arcing andtherefore unacceptable results.Part B is intended to determine of a loose wire could come int
13、o contact with a conductive surface orelectrical component and result in an unacceptable risk of fire or electric shock. As part of the abnormalconditions test, the soldered connection is severed and the loose wire is connected to any conductivesurface or electrical component that it can physically
