PCB Ionic Contamination Test

Dec 4, 2020|Quality and Testing

The PCB ionic contamination test calculates ionic cleanliness of PCBs to determine potential electrical or physical failures that happen at various points in the manufacturing process. Contaminant tests can also help establish cleaning procedures. Some common contaminants, or residues, are sodium, dendrite growth, and flux activators. Types of Contaminants: Ionic and Nonionic PCB contaminants include both ionic and nonionic compounds.  Ionic Positively charged ions...

PCB Testing Methods

Apr 9, 2020|Quality and Testing

When it comes to electronics, there’s a relatively high chance of a designer finding something wrong, such as a faulty wire or a bug. Printed circuit board (PCB) testing methods are crucial in ensuring a product is working correctly. Using PCB methods, including Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) and X-Ray Inspection, can help identify problems early on, saving both time and...
