However, a weak lead to pad bond will still give a lower result and failure mode analysis of the tested bond will show poor soldering. A strong wire hook is required. Xyztec can support you with extra strong hooks that will withstand relatively high forces. Despite the fact that a fraction of the test load goes into the package, analysis of the results may still provide meaningful data on the bond of interest.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.xyztec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SMD-gull-wing-leads-test-problems-web.png\" alt=\"SMD-gull-wing-leads-test-problems-web\" width=\"185\" height=\"172\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21070\" src=\"https:\/\/www.xyztec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SMD-gull-wing-pull-force-into-package-2.png\" alt=\"SMD-gull-wing-pull-force-into-package\" width=\"230\" height=\"171\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How to test SMD gull wing leads<\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21077\" src=\"https:\/\/www.xyztec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SMD-gull-wing-leads-best-test-web2.png\" alt=\"SMD-gull-wing-leads-best-test-web2\" width=\"459\" height=\"192\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The best way to test the bond of an SMD gull wing lead is to cut the body from the leads and then test each lead with a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xyztec.com\/docs\/tweezer-pull\/\">tweezer pull sensor<\/a>. This way, the bond is tested with no effects from the body and the other leads. The downside of this approach is the preparation time involved.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Other solutions without cutting the body off<\/h3>\n<div class=\"picture right\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21084\" src=\"https:\/\/www.xyztec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vector-pull-on-smd-gull-wing-leads-web-1.png\" alt=\"Vector-pull-on-smd-gull-wing-leads-web\" width=\"180\" height=\"128\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>To minimize the effect the body has supporting the bond it may be better to use a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xyztec.com\/docs\/vector-pull\/\">vector pull<\/a>\u00a0than a regular\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xyztec.com\/docs\/wire-pull\/\">wire pull<\/a>, using a special hook and a shear sensor. This also allows the hook to be made stronger but it might still be weaker than the lead, depending on the clearance under the lead for the hook. With a vector pull, a higher test load is applied to the bond pad than with the regular wire pull.<\/p>\n<p>Another method is to incline the sample. Using this approach, one can still use a regular pull sensor in combination with a strong wire hook. This has the following limitations, though:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bulletimg\">\n<li>It may not be possible with large samples because they hit the bond tester head or frame.\n<ul class=\"bulletimg\">\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xyztec.com\/in-bond-testing-size-does-matter\/\">Sigma&#8217;s large work area<\/a>\u00a0does diminish this problem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Focusing a microscope at different test heights may not be possible or can reduce the number of tests per hour.\n<ul class=\"bulletimg\">\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xyztec.com\/features\/ergonomics\/\">Sigma&#8217;s EZ microscope support<\/a>\u00a0helps to overcome this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Sample must be rotated to test all sides of the component.<\/li>\n<li>Handling and clamping an inclined sample can be difficult.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21091\" src=\"https:\/\/www.xyztec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SMD-gull-wing-leads-test-inclined-sample-web.png\" alt=\"SMD-gull-wing-leads-test-inclined-sample-web\" width=\"459\" height=\"186\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How to test bonds?<\/h2>\n<p>As\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xyztec.com\/about\/company\/\">market leader<\/a> in bond testing in Europe and Taiwan, xyztec has a lot of experience with many different types of samples and test types.
