Ensuring the Integrity of Printed Circuit Boards (PCB): The Vital Role of Surface Cleanliness.

The production of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) and Flexible Printed Circuits (FPCs) encompasses chemical, mechanical, and printing processes that often result in the accumulation of unwanted residues on their surfaces. The presence of even minuscule contaminants can significantly affect the functionality, performance, and reliability of the final products. Recognizing the...

4 factors that can cause voiding in Ball Grid Arrays (BGA)

Ball Grid Arrays (BGAs) are crucial components widely employed in the electronic manufacturing industry owing to their compact size. However, due to their high density, detecting defects through visual inspection alone can be challenging, while destructive testing poses the risk of compromising voiding defects.X-ray inspections offer a non-destructive testing solution...
