This test consists of thirty multiple-choice questions. All questions are from the video: Through- Hole Solder Joint Workmanship Standards (DVD-PTH-E). Use the supplied Answer Sheet and circle the letter corresponding to your selection for each test item. If more than one answer appears to be correct, pick the answer that seems to be the most complete response. Should you wish to change an answer, erase your choice completely. When finished, check to make sure you have answered all of the questions. Turn in the test materials to the instructor. The passing grade for this test is 70% (21 correct answers), or better. Good luck! 1

1. Zero (0) % land coverage on the component side is allowed as long as other requirements are met for the barrel and the solder side of the connection. True or False 2. Does the amount of solder on this component exceed the maximum that is allowed in the lead bend area? Yes or No 3. Two criteria associated with the barrel of the solder connection are vertical fill and excessive solder. True or False 4. Does this solder joint meet the minimum requirement for vertical fill? Yes or No 5. To evaluate vertical fill in a plated-through hole, you must a. look at the solder connection from the component side b. look at the solder connection from the solder side c. look at the solder connection from both the component and solder sides d. none of the above 3
6. Circumferential wetting on the solder side defines a. how far around the lead, land and barrel wall the solder wets b. the diameter of the solder joint c. the radius of the solder joint d. the wetting of the circuit board circumference 7. Does this solder joint meet the minimum requirement for circumferential wetting of the lead and barrel on the component side? Yes or No 8. Does this solder joint meet the minimum requirement for the wetting of the lead, land and barrel on the solder side of the connection? Yes or No 4
9. The ideal solder fillet will form a contact angle of at least 90 degrees. True or False 10. Even with a contact angle close to 90 degrees, this solder joint is still acceptable. Yes or No 11. A process indicator a. means the product is unacceptable b. will affect the form, fit or function of the end product c. should be used to improve the manufacturing process d. all of the above 12. Even if the lead is not visible on the solder side, it is still considered a process indicator when a. there is evidence of the lead in the hole from the component side b. the lead is not visible due to excess solder on the solder side c. the fillet on the solder side is convex with good wetting d. all of the above 13. A void is an allowable condition as long as minimum soldering requirements have been met. True or False 5
14. This soldering defect is always unacceptable. True or False 15.
