The secret to PCB perfection (shhh, it’s inspection and testing)
The electronics business is made up of serious perfectionists whose basic assumption is that devices will perform flawlessly time after time. But perfection is hard to come by.
In the real world, a printed circuit board’s many components and solder joints must meet design specifications exactly for the PCB to function properly. To ensure perfection, inspection is a critical part of PCB fabrication.
What PCB inspection methodologies are there? Which ones will work best for your project? All you need to know is in our white paper.
3-D AOI: A new dimension in PCB inspection
3-D AOI: A new dimension in PCB inspection Move over, 2-D automated optical inspection (AOI). There’s a new kid on the block when it comes to PCB inspection. Introducing 3-D AOI. With the growing use of surface mount technology (SMT) and chip packages like ball grid arrays (BGAs), solder connection planarity issues come up that call
PCB inspection: Taking it to the next level with X-ray
PCB inspection: Taking it to the next level with X-ray No one thinks it’s OK for a diagnostic device to just stop working. Or for flight instruments to conk out. Dependent on complex PCBs for their smarts, these devices have to be 100%, 24/7 reliable.
