CLEANLINESS TESTING & VALIDATION
Introducing a New Method for Cleanliness Testing & Validation
In the realm of electronics cleanliness, the unseen can pose significant risks.
Step 1: Cleanliness Testing
- Visual Assessment: Parts are mounted on glass for meticulous visual inspection.
- SIR Testing: Component-specific boards undergo Surface Insulation Resistance (SIR) testing to unveil the impact of residues on electrical performance.
- ION Chromatography: Identifies the specific ionic species present in the components.
Step 2: Custom Test Vehicles
- Custom Designed Boards: Mimicking production boards to ensure accurate representation.
- Custom Selected Components: Reproducing specific areas of concern in the manufacturing process.
- Duplicates Process and Materials: Providing a more accurate and representative test result.
The Difference: Surface Insulation Resistance (SIR)
- We offer component-specific boards for SIR testing, enabling correlation of SIR and IC test results on the same board using your specific component set.
- Diagnostics: Utilize industry baselines, develop your own criteria, or let us analyze the data for you.
- Product Acceptance: We facilitate surpassing standard industry tests, providing objective evidence for product acceptance.
