This is a question about complying with J-STD-001 solderability testing. Do any of you have your vendors certify that the components and PCB's that you buy from them comply with the solderabilty requirements spelled out in the -002 and -003, in lieu

Nice to have you back on SMTnet. Some of the newer folk have missed-out on the solid contributions you�ve made to the Forum. The chicken wire cleaning basket was a classic!!! [It�s a shame that the folk at SMTnet can�t recover those files.] We bu

I am trying to optimise the use of our Automatic Optical Inspection Machines. As the data we collect from the machine is mainly of the attribute type (Pass/fail, Defect1, Defect2, etc), what advice can you provide to improve its use as well as using

Thanks for the reply Mike, I will look forward to see the end result of your investigation (e-mail people_1@fsmail.net). Regarding the test machines, I was trying to ask what are the suited/or recommended from your experience, set of test equipment

Thanks for your replies! So what I understand is that ICT in reality is "only" a production process safety net, but it's a net that in most practical cases is needed. What ICT can not catch is (all) bad solder joints. What are the methods to find t

When testing components on a PCBA, try to validate coverage for presence, correct, orientation, live, and alignment. AOI is not really great at catching cold solder joints and damaged components, and from my experience an X-Ray is only as good as the

Test Jet will work for catching lifted leads, certainly. X-ray is the only thing for testing for internal solder defects such as voids and cracks. I personally do not have any experience using X-ray, so I cannot advise on its reliability. Perhaps

Agilent TestJet Technology White Paper In the early 1990s, the testing of digital parts became problematical. Previous in-circuit test techniques sought to ensure a correct, functioning part by applying digital patterns, called vectors, to the input

Since I'm new to the forum I probably ask previously answered questions (that I have not found) but I would be grateful if someone could clarify this for me. I'm in R&D at a company where we design low volume (1k-10k) fairly complex PCBAs for our pr
