Fatigue of solder joints under Leadless Chip Components (LCC), such as chip resistors and capacitors, can influence long-term reliability of electronic products operating in environments with temperature cycling. This model allows the user to predict the lifetime of leadless chip components accounting for solder alloy (Sn63Pb37 or SAC305), Printed Circuit Board (PCB) material, and use environment. The calculations are performed using a strain energy based model developed by DfR Solutions.
