This invention belongs to the field of PCB board testing technology, specifically relating to a testing method for PTH (
Polymerization Thermoplastic Hole) controlled-depth stepped
copper foil. The method includes multiple PCB boards to be tested, all of which undergo drilling, controlled-depth step drilling, and stepped hole drilling. A baking board is used to support and heat the PCB boards. The heated PCB boards undergo
copper plating, thickening, and full-board
electroplating. The electroplated PCB boards are then rolled into SET boards and reflow soldered. This invention tests different types of substrates using different
copper plating processes to identify the causes of PCB
delamination after
reflow soldering and
wave soldering. Based on this, the
copper plating solution is improved by adding
polyethylene glycol and a mixture of
polyethylene glycol and
ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to the solution in stages and adjusting the pH value to find a pH environment suitable for
tensile testing. This ensures that the copper layer
adhesion strength is maintained after
copper plating and addition, reducing the generation of defective boards.
