What's the point of such a test? * If you are operating a board in an environment that keeps the board at a temperature that is close to causing delamination, why not design a board that can tolerate such an operating environment, rather than contin

You will have to be more specific about your boards and process to get any help. There are many different types of in circuit tests and functional tests throughout the manufacturing process. The nature of these tests depend on board function. Sinc

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

Cleanliness test � �Area Grid Arrays�. Evaluation of residues� resistivity in a specific location on the board. (As compared to �Solvent Extract� evaluation.) We are: SMT assembly, using standard �water soluble� process with micro BGAs (example: C

Is there a test to check for delamination on a pcb? We are looking at new board houses and along with our standard solderability tests my boss wants to test for delamination. thanks, pr

When carry out the contamination test,do we measure for Chlorides on water soluble and No-clean fluxes? 1) What is the equivalent factor for machines developed to test the board cleanliness, Omega-meter vs Ionograph vs Zero-ion. 2) What values do we

Richard, With respect to the Resistivity of Solvent Extract (ROSE) test, the test solution is exceptionally aggressive. With the Zero-Ion for example, the test solution�s resistivity is 150 M-Ohms. Additionally, because test solution is made up of

Hi Richard My experience with R.O.S.E. testers has been positive with regard to detecting ionic contamination (even exceptionally low levels). As previously mentioned, a good R.O.S.E tester will be able to detect minuet levels of ionic contaminatio

Your Ionograph and Zero-ion Values are set by you. There is no raw pass of fail criteria only the limits you set up. Ionograph is great for bare board resistivity (salt) test just as a pass fail for incoming inspection but this is all per your facto

In-Circuit test, or ICT, is the most common method of electrical test for an assembled PCB. It is the most comprehensive and accurate method to ensure that both the PWB and components are working to specification. Not all components however can be el
