As you probably know, x-ray inspection has problems positivly identifying cracks or delamination. This task is more suited to scanning laser acoustical microscopy but the cost is very high. It has been our experience that cracks are associated with t

Our experience has been that mechanical crack occur vertically through the chip. In other words perpendicular to the board surface. You can sometimes tell through close inspection that the crack may have propogated from a point that the nozzle may

Hello, I had recently a problem of crack between the solder ball (SnPb) and the Ni layer of the PCB pad. We use Electroless Ni/Au technology for PCB. This phenomena is amazing because the crack is very clean (straight) and it creates a space betwee

Guys, We're seeing what looks like an issue where through hole solder joints from our ive solder process are cracking during the cooling phase of the soldering process. This was detected during thermal shock testing, and we have tracked it back to a

Finding and troubleshooting cracked BGA solder connections are a real pain in the neck. Please describe how xray fits into this process, the type of machine used, and how that machine is used in conjunction with other equipment.

Exposing MS parts longer than the part manufacturer's recommended exposure time opens you up to cracked plastic. [Ha!!! Did you see that play on words??? "Opens you up to cracked plastic" ... that's GREAT!!! The subtile interplay of word with mea
