电连接器激光软钎焊焊点的热疲劳寿命预测

Thermal Fatigue Life Prediction for Laser Soldering Joints of Electrical Connectors

  • 摘要: 通过建立Micro-USB电连接器有限元模型,采用Anand统一性本构方程描述焊点在循环温度载荷作用下的力学行为;借助ANSYS软件分析模拟焊点应力应变分布和变化情况;运用基于塑性应变的Coffin-Manson方程,计算激光软钎焊焊点在热循环温度作用下的热疲劳寿命。结果表明,电连接器激光软钎焊焊点在热循环作用下,最大应力应变位于中间部位的焊点与金属Pin相互接触处,其疲劳寿命最低,为1 146次,从而确定易发生失效的危险部位。该结论可为电连接器的设计、制作和测试提供理论依据。

     

    Abstract: Mechanical properties of Micro-USB electrical connectors is affected by instantaneous power on or off caused by hot-plugging. In order to further understand the failure behavior of electrical connectors under thermal cycling, it is necessary to carry out the fatigue life prediction for laser soldering joints of Micro-USB electrical connectors under heat acceleration test. Firstly, the finite element model of Micro-USB electrical connectors is established. The mechanical behavior of solder joints under cyclic thermal loading is described by using the Anand constitutive equation. Then, the stress or strain distribution is analyzed by means of ANSYS software. Finally, the thermal fatigue life under thermal cycling can be calculated by using the Coffin-Manson equation based on plastic strain. The results show that the maximum stress or strain occurs at the place of the middle solder joint contacting with metal Pin when laser soldering joints of electrical connectors are subjected to thermal cycling. Its fatigue life is lowest, only 1 146 times. Meanwhile, the risk of failure can be determined. The conclusions can provide a theoretical reference for the design, manufacture and testing of electrical connectors.
