Weidmüller is a leading international provider of solutions for electrical connectivity,transmission and conditioning of power, signal and data in industrial environments.The company with headquarters in Detmold/Germany develops, produces and sellsproducts in the field of electrical connectivity and electronics all over the world.
According IPC-A-610E quality requirements, THR solder
joints are divided into three classes.e.
Additionally, destructive testing with THR components there
are requirements placed the PCB itself.
• Solder joints the primary side are, however, not required.
These standards produce many demands the wired
components the quality control.

Required pull out strength:

• Solder wetting the solder pads (i.
For long pins, there are the following requirements:
• The solder joints the secondary side must visible.
• for long pins with solder meniscus the primary and
secondary sides: approximately 220 N. For industrial applications
where high power demands are made, Class the usual
requirement.
In comparison,
For surface connections for SMD components the required pull-
out strength only about N.
• Solder wetting the solder pads the secondary side must
be least 75%. should noted that, in
the THR process, there are typically two different construction
types:
• Short pins when compared the PCB thickness
• Longer pins when compared the PCB thickness

To make quality control more objective, norms and standards
have been introduced over the recent years.3.W.5 protrusion)
For short pin construction there are the following requirements:
• The solder joints the primary side the PCB must be
visible.
• For components with pins under the insulating body, the
