The secret to PCB perfection (shhh, it’s inspection and testing)

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.
