What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of PCB Flying Probe Test

       Before leaving the PCB factory, PCB will pass electrical testing to ensure that the PCB has high performance and high reliability in the final product. Flying probe test is one of the more effective test methods, so what are its advantages and disadvantages?

 

Advantages:

1. Shorter test development cycles. The system can start production within a few hours after receiving the CAD files, so prototype boards can be tested several hours after assembly.

 

 

2. Lower test costs. There is no need to make special test fixtures.

 

 

3. Due to the simple and fast of setting, programming and testing, general technical assembly personnel can perform operational testing.

 

 

4. Higher test accuracy. The positioning accuracy and repeatability of the online testing of the flying probe, as well as a very small contact and spacing, so that the test system can detect the PCB node that the needle bed fixture cannot achieve.

 

 

Disadvantages:

1. As the test probes make physical contact with the solder on the via holes and test pads, small pits may be left in the solder. For some customers, these small pits may be considered as appearance defects and rejected.

 

 

2. Loose or poorly soldered component leads may not be detected because the probes sometimes touch component leads where there is no test pad.

 

 

3. Flying probe testers require the operator to test one side, then turn it over and test the other side. Therefore, the flying probe test cannot test the top and bottom components of the double-sided PCB at the same time.

 

 

To sum up, when we conduct PCB flying probe test, we must carefully consider its advantages and disadvantages to ensure that the test can be successfully completed to ensure the reliability of the PCB.

What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of the OSP Technology

图片
     With the continuous development of the electronics industry, there are more and more PCB surface treatment technologies, and each technology has its own merits. OSP is a commonly used surface treatment technology process, what are its advantages and disadvantages?       Compared with other surface treatment technologies, OSP is somewhat different.  It uses a chemical method to produce an organic film on the clean bare copper surface, which acts as a barrier between the copper and the air.   OSP is organic, not  metallic,   and its cost is lower than most surface treatment technologies.     Advantages: With this organic film, it can resist the attack of moisture in the air without being oxidized before welding,  can withstand the test of high temperature, maintain good activity, and has a good tinning ability.  This layer of organic film will not cause damage to the sheet material. It can be easily removed by the solder resist during soldering. It can solder the copper wire and the

What PCBA Problems Can AOI Inspect

图片
        With the development of science and technology, the volume of PCBA is getting smaller and more precise, and some defects in processing cannot be distinguished with the naked eye, so AOI has appeared.  So what PCBA problems can AOI inspect?   The working principle of AOI is to first collect and input parameters such as images, component positions, solder joints and other parameters of the good-quality board.   During the inspection, the instrument automatically scans the circuit board and automatically captures the image, and then compares the collected data with the pre-entered parameters to determine whether the characteristics of solder joints, components and other aspects are consistent. If the data is inconsistent, the d efect  will be flagged through the display for maintenance personnel to repair.     AOI is mainly used to inspect solder paste printing, component placement and soldering. For example: too much or too little solder paste,   solder paste printing offset;  co

The Role of Shield Cover in PCB Design

图片
  SHENZHEN HOYOGO ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. specializes in providing overall PCBA electronics manufacturing services, and can also provide customers with a full range of value-added services: including SMT assembly, PCB program development, schematic design, PCB layout and routing, Bom list matching, component procurement and other services. Do you know the role of shield cover in PCB design? What is a Shield Cover? The shield cover is an alloy metal cover, which is a vital component to reduce the radiation of the display. It is used in MID or VR products, which can effectively reduce the mutual interference between modules. It is common in the isolation between the main control function module and the power module and the Wifi module. The  P urpose of  S hield  Cover   C lip Generally, there are products that use wireless communication, and shield frames are usually designed on the circuit board to isolate electromagnetic interference (EMI). However, to make the shield frame fun
