24、ING Part 282: Tests Test Tx: Whisker test methods for electronic and electric components 1 Scope This part of IEC 60068 specifies whisker tests for electric or electronic components representing the finished stage, with tin or tin-alloy finish. However, the standard does not specify tests for whiske
25、rs that may grow as a result of external mechanical stress. This test method is employed by a relevant specification (international component or application specification) with transfer of the test severities to be applied and with defined acceptance criteria. Where tests described in this standard
26、are considered for other components, e.g. mechanical parts as used in electrical or electronic equipment, it should be ensured that the material system and whisker growth mechanisms are comparable. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of thi
27、s document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

31、do not require any electrical field for their growth and may not be mixed with products of electrochemical migration. Typical signs of whiskers include: striations in growth direction; typically no branching; typically constant diameters. Exceptions are known, but rare and may require detailed inves
32、tigation. For the purposes of this standard, whiskers are considered if they have an aspect ratio (length/width) greater than 2, they have a length of 10 m or more. NOTE 2 For the purposes of this standard, whiskers have the following characteristics: they can be kinked, bent, or twisted; they usual
33、ly have a uniform cross-sectional shape; they may have rings around the circumference of the column. NOTE 3 Whiskers are not to be confused with dendrites which are fern-like growths on the surface of a material which can be formed as a result of electro-migration of an ionic species or produced dur
34、ing solidification. 3.2 material system termination consists of the following elements: a) base material; b) underlayer, if any, located under the final plating; c) final tin or tin alloy plating. NOTE There may be additional layers between the base material and the underlayer. The penultimate layer
35、 is the used bulk material or the deposited layer underneath the final tin or tin alloy plating of the component. 4 Test equipment The test equipment shall comprise the following elements: 4.1 Desiccator The desiccator shall be capable of providing the conditions of temperature and humidity specifie
36、d in 6.1. 4.2 Humidity chamber The humidity chamber shall meet all the requirements of IEC 60068-2-78 and be capable of providing the conditions specified in 6.2. 4.3 Thermal cycling chamber The thermal cycling chamber shall meet all the requirements of IEC 60068-2-14, test Na and be capable of prov
37、iding the conditions specified in 6.3. 4.4 Optical microscope An optical stereo-microscope with a magnification of at least 50 times and an appropriate illumination, capable of detecting whiskers with a length of 10 m. If used for measurement, the microscope shall be equipped with a scale or electro
38、nic detection system capable for length measurement with an accuracy of at least 5 m. 4.5 Scanning electron microscope A scanning electron microscope (SEM) capable of investigating the surface of the specimen, preferably equipped with a handling system capable to tilt and rotate the specimen. 7 EN 6
39、0068-2-82:2007 4.6 Fixing jig The fixture jig shall be capable of setting samples in any of the test chambers specified in 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 without affecting compliance with the specified requirements. The jig should also be attachable to the optical microscope or be appropriately small in size so t
40、hat it can be inserted in the SEM sample chamber. 5 Preparation for test 5.1 General The samples shall represent finished products as supplied to the market. NOTE Guidance on suitable sample sizes is provided in Annex C. 5.2 Selection of test methods Choose the appropriate test method according to t
41、he type of final plating, underlayer and base material of the specimen according to Table 6. 5.3 Storage conditions prior to testing The specimen shall be kept for at least 2 h in the standard atmospheric conditions defined in IEC 60068-1, 5.3.1 prior to any preconditioning or test. 5.4 Handling of
42、the specimen It is recommended to hold the specimen with a fixture jig as specified in 4.6 to prevent them from being contaminated unexpectedly. The fixture jig shall not contact the metallic surfaces of the specimen to be tested. The sample shall be handled carefully to prevent the grown whiskers f
43、rom falling away unexpectedly. Broken whiskers shall be recorded, see 7.4. Where there is a possibility of grown whiskers to drop down, an appropriate fixture jig design shall be considered in advance of the test. Conductive sputter coating typically used to aid SEM inspection, such as C, Pt, or Au,
44、 shall not be deposited on the specimen. 5.5 Preconditioning by heat treatment 5.5.1 Soldering simulation prior to ambient and damp heat test (see 6.1 and 6.2) a) Components intended for soldering Before soldering simulation, the specimen of material descriptions case 1.1, case 3 or case 4 shall hav
45、e been stored under room temperature for more than 30 days after the last manufacturing process, e.g. as indicated by the date code of the product. Unless otherwise specified by the relevant specification, the components shall be submitted to a soldering simulation according to Table 1 without the u
46、se of solder and without contact to any metal surface.
