test at the bare board level consists of opens and shorts. It makes sure that all traces are hooked (connected) up to the appropriate place and they are not shorted to a non common conductor. Russ

Pr. I agree with some of the above responses. if you are seeing Delam issues with incoming PCB's the following should be check. 1) Check the OEM Print to what Material they are calling out to be manufactured with. 2) If they are calling out for S

In-Circuit Test is the best method for ensuring solder joint connections. It is a much more reliable than AOI. An ICT machine can ensure solder connections are made for array package devices such as BGA, PGA, etc... AOI is best for component I.D.- is

We call this the "orange stick test", but who's coloring? In preforming the test, you're supposed to use a light touch. Unfortunately, it's difficult to calibrate a "light touch." So, operators often end-up using too much force when probing or usi

First, we know of no conformal coating that will help your situation. Second, as you say, companies recognize that stress testing of shippable products is NOT good practice, because it strips life from the product. So, your product is more expensiv

Issue: At 60'C test PCB Fails. Operator did simulation. Use of Heat Gun to heat up the BGA to 60'C while PCB is powered and running. At 60'C BGA fails. When pressed system is back which means that something becomes open. Sent BGA for SEM and found t
