Solder jet printing: What you need to know for SMT Printed Circuit Board outsourcing
Solder jet printing: What you need to know for SMT Printed Circuit Board outsourcing “More good boards, faster.” That’s the basic reason for using solder jet printing. Since solder quality is a major factor in SMT board defects, high-quality solder jet printing can play a major role in striking the balance between throughput.
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
