Provides test methods applicable to surface mounting devices made of glass or sintered materials such as capacitors, resistors and inductors incorporating ferrites. Two test methods exist: body strength and impact shock. The object of both tests is to evaluate the mechanical stresses applied to SMDs during and after mounting; these tests look at different mechanical stresses.
