Using X-Ray Systems To Detect Counterfeit And Reworked Electronic Components

Much has been said and written about the accuracy of visual attribute inspections of potentially counterfeit components. The techniques and procedures being used to inspect counterfeit and reworked electronic components in the open marketplace can be quite effective in most cases.

Head-on-Pillow Defect Detection — X-ray Inspection Limitations

Both the number and the variants of Ball Grid Array packages (BGAs) are tending to increase on network Printed Board Assemblies (PBAs)with sizes ranging from a few mm die size Wafer Level Packages (WLPs) with low ball count up to large multi-die System-in-Package (SiP) BGAs with 60-70 mm side lengths and thousands of I/Os.

MODERN 2D / 3D X-RAY INSPECTION -- EMPHASIS ON BGA, QFN, 3D PACKAGES, AND COUNTERFEIT COMPONENTS

With PCB complexity and density increasing and also wider use of 3D devices, tougher requirements are now imposed on device inspection both during original manufacture and at their subsequent processing onto printed circuit boards. More complicated and dense packages have more opportunities to exhibit defects both internal to the package as well as to the PCB. As components increase in complexity their cost increases, making counterfeiting them a potentially lucrative business for unscrupulous individuals and organizations.

Benefits of Manual X-Ray Inspection for Medium-Sized EMS and OEM suppliers

Zero-defect strategies and increased demands on the production of assemblies are making quality assurance in electronics production increasingly important. Continous miniaturization of components, ever higher packing densities and the associated hard-to-view assembly areas, as well as the increased use of components such as BGAs, QFNs and QFPs, pose a considerable challenge when it comes to high-precision quality control.

Design For Manufacturing, Design Rule Check Software -- Hello, does anyone have any experience or can make recommendations for software that allows DFM and DRC to be carried out? Mainly in stencil design (Aspect Ratio and Area Ratio). Greetings Yannick

X-Out boards -- Hello SMTnet, I would like to know from you guys your experiences of how the use of X-Out boards impact your units per hour on your lines. There are different scenarios where some of you might have only one lane reflow oven and others may have 2 lane reflow oven, do X-Out boards really impact your lines capacity? Thank you in advance for your feedback. Regards.
