The mechanical properties of plated copper in plated-through-hole (PTH) were investigated experimentally by a thermo-mechanical analyzer, a nano-indenter, and an acoustic emission instrument. Coefficients of fatigue life prediction models for plated copper have been determined by different failure c...
