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 Pack .. read more

Inclusion Voiding in Gull Wing Solder Joints

Solder voiding in ball grid array (BGA) solder joints has been well characterized and documented in IPC-A-610 and IPC- 7095 which define industry recommended BGA solder workmanship criteria and .. read more

Void Detection in Large Solder Joints of Integrated Power Electronics

• Inspection of integrated power electronics = sophisticated test task • X-ray inspection based on 2D / 2.5D principles not utilisable • Full 3D inspection with adapted image capturing and reco .. read more

Assembly Challenges of Bottom Terminated Components

Bottom terminated component (BTC) assembly has rapidly increased in recent years. This type of package is attractive due to its low cost and good functional performance (improved signal speeds .. read more

Screening for Counterfeit Electronic Parts

Counterfeit electronic parts have become a significant cause of worry in the electronics part supply chain. Most of the counterfeit parts detected in the electronics industry are either new or .. read more

Bridging Supply Chain Gap for Exempt High-Reliability OEM’s

RoHS exempt high reliability OEMs breathed a sign of relief for not having to go through the grind of revising their processes and material to be RoHS compliant. However,this was short lived be .. read more
