The Principles of
Standardization
In May 1995 the IPCs Technical Activities Executive Committee (TAEC) adopted Principles of
Standardization as a guiding principle of IPCs standardization efforts.
Standards Should:
Show relationship to Design for Manufacturability
(DFM) and Design for the Environment (DFE)
Minimize time to market
Contain simple (simplified) language
Just include spec information
Focus on end product performance
Include a feedback system on use and
problems for future improvement
Notice
IPC Standards and Publications are designed to serve the public interest through eliminating misunderstandings between manufacturers and purchasers, facilitating interchangeability and improvement of products, and assisting the purchaser in selecting and obtaining with minimum delay the
proper product for his particular need. Existence of such Standards and Publications shall not in
any respect preclude any member or nonmember of IPC from manufacturing or selling products
not conforming to such Standards and Publication, nor shall the existence of such Standards and
Publications preclude their voluntary use by those other than IPC members, whether the standard
is to be used either domestically or internationally.
Recommended Standards and Publications are adopted by IPC without regard to whether their adoption may involve patents on articles, materials, or processes. By such action, IPC does not assume
any liability to any patent owner, nor do they assume any obligation whatever to parties adopting
the Recommended Standard or Publication. Users are also wholly responsible for protecting themselves against all claims of liabilities for patent infringement.
IPC Position
Statement on
Specification
Revision Change
It is the position of IPCs Technical Activities Executive Committee that the use and implementation
of IPC publications is voluntary and is part of a relationship entered into by customer and supplier.
When an IPC publication is updated and a new revision is published, it is the opinion of the TAEC
that the use of the new revision as part of an existing relationship is not automatic unless required
by the contract. The TAEC recommends the use of the latest revision.
Adopted October 6, 1998

With the growth of electronics and the increased accessibility and portability, drop shock and other mechanical
impacts are increasingly a concern. This document
attempts to improve upon past mechanical shock test methods, and tie test conditions back to the use-conditions. A
method is proposed such that regardless of what level (system, board assembly, simplified single component board
testing, etc.) testing is conducted, there should be a correlation back to the use-condition. In order to fulfill this goal,
additional metrologies are introduced to aid in these correlations.
Following the requisite introductory sections, the concept
of use-conditions is introduced and suggestions are made
on how use-condition data may be acquired and applied.
Next, the testing methods for fully assembled systems are
introduced. Options for test conditions are discussed and
the data that should be collected is outlined.
Testing of subassemblies and components mimics actual
use configurations less than testing of fully assembled systems; however, the next two document sections outline
considerations to ensure that testing done at these levels
remains relevant to the intended use-condition.
Specific metrics to aid in correlations are outlined in Section 8. The informative annexes that close the document
discuss the common considerations of all mechanical shock
testing methods. These include a sample reporting format
for test data, use and application of strain gages, accelerometers, and high speed photography. A section on failure
analysis is given. Lastly, a review of finite element methods that may be applied to mechanical shock analysis is
given to aid in more in-depth study of shock problems.

Strain Gage A sensor of mechanical deformation consisting of one or more small serpentine structures whose electrical resistance is changed by deformation of the material
to which the gage has been attached.
If the UC has a strong impact on certification requirements, it may be appropriate to collect actual data.
Historically, shock testing has been based on a few standardized acceleration conditions. This approach, while
simple, is not optimal for the following reasons:
If a new product segment is similar to an existing segment, it may be appropriate to scale existing UCs to the
new product segment.
Testing to standards based tests, or military-based specifications may be unrealistic since it may not be cost effective for products with more mild requirements.
UC
This proposal employs market segment based useconditions (UC). Market segment based use-condition testing offers several advantages:
A better understanding of robustness and reliability for a
specific product segment or for products and components
in a specific application.
Avoidance of over-engineering to meet a standardized
acceleration condition, which could add cost.
Scalability across multiple product form factors; meaning,
portions of a usage behavior from one product type might
be applicable to usage behaviors of a new product type.

The definition of a system may be a fully assembled system as well as sub-systems. (e.g., server modules, board
assembly handled out of system, etc.)
System tests may be performed on either packaged or
unpackaged systems. Packaged system tests are usually
performed to demonstrate that the system and packaging
can withstand shocks that may be encountered in the shipping and distribution environment. Unpackaged system
tests are performed to either ensure the system has enough
robustness to withstand handling shocks in a cost effective
shipping package or to ensure the system can survive shock
events experienced in a typical end-user environment.
The major factors to consider when defining a system
shock test are as follows:
Equipment that provides the appropriate environment.
Input profiles that are correlated to use-condition profiles.
Requirements that ensure the proper test article configuration and desired confidence level.
Procedures that ensure proper test conditions and order of
testing.

pulses. This technique accounts for the acceleration amplitude and velocity change but does not consider the frequency content of the pulse.
The SRS of the
half sine input pulse should envelope the SRS of the
responses measured at several locations in the system in
the direction of the input (drop or bump direction). The
spectra used for the measured responses should be the
composite spectra for both positive and negative directions.
The analyses should be performed for a Q = 10 at a
sequence of natural frequencies at intervals of 16 octave or
smaller to span at least 5 to 500 Hz. This method accounts
for the amplitude, frequency, and energy in the measured
input that is likely to cause damage in the system.

Palletized Packages: The test flow for palletized systems
is recommended to drop the systems on the palletized surface twice from the full height for the particular package
weight and then dropping them an additional number of
times (usually ten) from half that height. Systems weighing
less than 45kgs [100 lbs] are usually dropped from a height
of 30.5 cm [12.0 in]. Larger systems are dropped from a
height of 23.0 cm [9.0 in]. The flat surface drops are then
followed by a number of rotational edge drops (usually
four) on each of the four bottom edges. This is performed
with one edge resting on an elevated surface and the opposite end released from the normal drop height for that size
of system.

Preconditioning:
There are other conditions that may also impact the test
results, but at present there is insufficient data to standardize their use. Time between reflow and test may have significant impact on the reliability of the solder and should
be recorded and reported. Enabling hardware used to constrain heat sinks may apply significant load. The strain
induced by this load should be recorded. The component
board test should represent the impact of both the heat sink
mass and compression loads. If supplemental adhesives
such as underfill or corner-glue are to be used on the system, then similar materials and processes should be used in
the component test. Moisture sensitivity level should be
considered if supplemental adhesives are used.
Elapsed Time after Reflow: Strain-to-failure and/or failure
modes may be sensitive to elapsed time between the
mechanical shock test and the last solder ball reflow. Consequently, shock acceptance criteria may differ, depending
upon elapsed time after reflow. For data comparison, the
same elapsed time after reflow and total number of reflow
exposures should be used.
Post-Stress Test: Depending on the specific production
flow or reliability stress test condition, e.g., burn-in, preconditioning, high temperature storage, temperature
cycling, etc., the tested devices may produce lower or
higher strain-to-failure values than the time-zero test
results, and the values expected must be adjusted appropriately. Coarsening of solder grain structure following
extended temperature exposure may result in an increased
bulk solder failure rate.
7.3 Correlation Criteria and Validity of Test Setup Cor-
relation of the component test should be based on the criteria listed in the correlation criteria section of this document. The correlation study should be documented.
It is expected that the component board test should reasonably correlate to system board in terms of the strain range,
bend mode, frequency and board strain rate if practical.

are tested and set for failure analysis. If a large sample size
is to be tested, then test boards with strain gages should be
interspersed among the samples to verify that the setup has
not drifted. In this test flow, electrical testing should be
used to demonstrate that the component meets the requirements. A minimum of three randomly selected test samples
should also be subjected to failure analysis to confirm
results.
This test flow has the advantage of being very quick and
limited only to the critical testing levels. It can also be performed on live product samples rather than requiring daisy
chain test vehicles. It does not provide for margin assessment. It requires a very clear correlation to the end usecondition. The test flow may also require multiple tests if a
range of applications are to be supported or if the requirements change after testing has been completed.
7.6 Failure Analysis Normal electrical testing is not
always able to reliably detect failure in solder joints. This
is especially true in shock testing where the joint may open
momentarily, but remain in contact after the event passes.
As such, failure analysis should be used to verify all testing results. Cross sections of the corner solder joints and
stain techniques are both commonly used for these tests.
See Annex C for details.
Detailed reporting
recommendations are found in Annex A. Typically the
report will contain the strain levels tested, the acceleration
inputs (pulse type, duration, and amplitude), the electrical
test results, and failure analysis results. The report or
attached document should also describe the test setup
including the fixtures used, the board bend mode produced,
frequency and the board strain rate if practical.
It is very important to choose the right metrics for demonstrating correlation between tests. The available metrics
include acceleration, board strain, and board deflection.
Each is discussed below. Table 8-1 may be useful providing guidance on selecting a method based on the intended
use and test condition.
8.1.1 Acceleration Based Method
Amplification Factor Based Matching: In simple systems
IPC/JEDEC-9703
tion method will not be able to sufficiently match the system response. These include cases where there is significant interaction with the chassis and board, such as a laptop
or server board with chassis mounted thermal solutions. In
these cases, the user must decide the extent of matching
desired. The same board may be used in multiple systems.
Within the board there are multiple components. It may not
be practical to attempt to develop a test to match the full
range of systems and the response at every component on
the board. Matching can vary from the simple matching of
the worst case corner of the worst case component (worst
case as determined by system testing and failure analysis),
to matching the entire board response in a single drop orientation. To match a system board level test to that for system level test, it is required that both test board boundary
condition and the shock input be tailored. In cases with
complex interaction, a boundary condition simulator or
chassis surrogate may be used.
One can also improve matching by
matching the distribution of acceleration as a function of
frequency, through the use of SRS. In brief the SRS represents the acceleration response of the system in discrete
frequency bands. This method is described in detail in a
number of shock testing handbooks and textbooks. These
books describe many criteria for matching SRS, but in
practice the most conservative methods are used which
envelope all of the resonant peaks. In Figure 8-2, the SRS
for three systems are shown for an accelerometer mounted
near the component of interest. The board test shows an
attempt to envelope the system responses. As can be seen
in the figure, the response on the board test is larger in
magnitude at nearly every frequency. Importantly, it is
larger at the resonance peaks indicated. However, since the
resonant response of the test board is very much larger than
the systems, this test may be excessively conservative.

Using these advantages, strain gages can be used to correlate shock tests in several ways. These include: comparison
of strain amplitude, frequency or strain rate matching, bend
mode determination and settling time analysis. Each of
these is discussed below.
Board Strain Amplitude Correlation: Board strain amplitude is the most significant correlation metric. It requires a
fine tuning after the other metrics are correlated. For strain
gages placed on the opposite side of the board from the
component, the minimum principal strain is typically used
for correlation, being an indication of tensile loading of the
solder joint. Often a strain time history will show multiple
peaks in the strain signal. The highest should be used.

in developing a testing method. If a variety of modes are
observed, then it is advisable to use a conservative mode
when matching.

B.1 Strain Gage Use and Techniques
Orientation of strain gages should be recorded. Recommended strain gage orientations at all corners are shown in
the example in Figure B-1. This arrangement keeps the
orthogonal sensing elements aligned to the edge of the
package.
In situations with high component density, gage lead-wire
routing or interference with other components may constrain gage placement. Small, adjacent, interfering components may be removed without affecting results. It is not
recommended that large adjacent components be removed.
Silk Screen: It is advisable to print a silk screen on the
board to guide the placement of strain gage within acceptable visual tolerance.
Attachment Method: Follow manufacturers recommendation and process. Cyanoacrylate adhesives are acceptable
for room temperature testing.
Wire Routing: Care should be taken in routing gage leadwires so that they are not to interfere with the dynamic
behavior of the system or test board. This is especially a

Table B-1 follows the rule that the sampling rate should be
greater than 10 times the highest frequency of interest, to
accurately capture strain response.
The frequency range of the system response can be determined via a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis of the
strain data. An example is shown in Figure B-4. For this
system there is a significant response at approximately 400
Hz; the minimum sampling rate should be at least 4000Hz.

Strain gage lead wires should be protected with adequate strain relief. Damage to unprotected
lead wires is common in mechanical shock testing. In free
fall shock tests it can be challenging to secure the wires in
light weight systems without influencing the way the system falls, so in these cases guided drop systems may be
advised.

Table B-1 also shows the minimum setting for analog antialias filters. These filters are used to prevent the inadvertent sampling of high frequency data as a lower frequency
(see Nyquist Sampling Theorem). Many modern data
acquisition systems may automatically select an appropriate filter.

IPC/JEDEC-9703
Accelerometers
There are many available accelerometers. The weight of the selected accelerometer should be minimum, internal damping well outside the
frequency of system and size small without interfering. The
frequency range and the linear range should also be considered. For solder joint reliability testing, a single axis accelerometer will be sufficient as the out of plane is of primary
interest.

It is generally recommended that at least six to eight elements are used per wavelength of the highest frequency
mode to be modeled.
For linear dynamic analysis, care needs to be taken when
introducing symmetry into a model. A symmetric model
assumes that geometry, constraints, loads, and the response

For example, consider a plate with all edges simply supported. Table E-1 shows the first three modes extracted
from a full model, a half symmetric model and a half
asymmetric model. This clearly shows that modes are missing from the symmetric and asymmetric models.
The material response during a natural frequency extraction is linear. If nonlinear materials are
defined, then, the linearized elastic stiffness will be used. If
there is a preload, then the current, linearized elastic stiffness about the preloaded state of the materials should be
used.

each constraint. These base motion sets are defined in the
eigenmode extraction step.

Implicit dynamics
Explicit dynamics
The explicit procedure is conditionally stable. The time increment size is limited by the stability of the algorithm; generally,
many more time increments are required to complete a given
simulation.
Each time increment is expensive since each requires the solution for a set of simultaneous equations.
Iteration is required to meet convergence criteria. Iterations may No iterations or convergence criteria. Nonconvergence is not

an issue. Since accuracy is not controlled by convergence,
care must be taken in the time integration algorithms.
Ideal for problems where the response period of interest is long
compared to the vibration frequency of the model, for example,
earthquake shock.
Slow, long time duration dynamics problems difficult to solve
effectively using explicit dynamics because of the limit on the
time increment size.
Use for problems that are mildly nonlinear and where the nonlinearities are smooth (e.g., plasticity).
With a smooth nonlinear response, implicit solution will need
very few iterations to find a converged solution.
In impact problems, implicit solution has to perform very expensive momentum transfer calculations for each impact.

transfer of data between these solvers. This makes it possible to model the preloading operations with an implicit
solution method, and then import the deformed shape and
associated stresses into the explicit dynamic solution as the
start point for the shock test.
The user generally has the choice of precision
level for the explicit dynamic solver. A double-precision
solution is normally preferred for shock and impact type
load cases. Most FE packages allow the use of parallel
execution and may allow for the use of both shared- and
distributed-memory machines. Depending on model size,
runtime requirements, and available hardware, this option
should be explored.

Compute MAC
Mode shape validation can be done not only by visualization through animation, but more importantly by computing the MAC, which is a correlation coefficient between the
two mode shapes in Eq. (E-1) for real (normal) modes or
Eq. (E-2) for complex modes. If the MAC coefficient is
equal to 1.0, then the two shapes are perfectly correlated.

An overlay plot is commonly used for time history comparison. Figure E-6 shows a comparison of the displacement from the model and captured by using the high speed
camera system. Further confirmation was gained by comparing the board strains derived from the model with measurements using strain gages as shown in Figure E-7. As
can be seen from these figures the model captures the
behavior very well.
E3.3 Field Comparison (Contour Plots) Displacement or
strain contour plots have been useful for comparing
between the simulation and the empirical measurements.
When doing so, make sure not only the frame of references
is matched, but also the measuring target grid density is
enough to derive accurate board displacement or strain
contour map. Similar to mode shape correlation, displacement shape (map) at a specified time can be validated by
applying the Displacement Assurance Criterion (DAC):

Um Displacement from measurement
The ideal DAC is 1.0, when two displacement shapes are
perfectly matched.
Local correlation can be computed by using Displacement
Shape Difference (DSD):
DSD (Ua ,Um) = {Ua Um}
Model updating is required to minimize the differences.
