Avoiding Design Mistakes with Testing
Improve EMS Productivity by Testing Early
PC Board errors are a drain to EMS productivity. Through analysis and testing PCBs in the pilot stages, a smoother and more educated production set-up can be achieved. By performing automatic impedance measurements and testing of components (chip resistors and capacitors) early on, you can ensure the best design for production.
We recommend applying the best design logics when creating your PCB layout and Test, Test, Test for maximum efficiency and output. According to Circuits Assembly’s December 2016 Magazine, here is the list of 5 Most Common PCB Design Mistakes: “1. The components do not suit the production technology 2. Thermal imbalance 3. Incompatibility between fabrication and assembly technology 4. Component placement at PCB edge 5. Placing fiducials on the PCB’s edge.”
Once you have planned your PC Board with best practices, Southern Machinery’s High-Speed In-line Circuit Board Test Machine will help with testing by incorporating a visual inspection function which allows mounting status checks on each component (e.g.: typo descriptions in alphanumeric characters, orientation, size) on the operator’s monitor will serve to best analyze testing up close. As well as automatically generating test data from mounting data and component list.
The s-600-of is a revolutionary new concept from southern machinery. that allows the placement or insertion of both http://tadalafiltablets.net surface mount and through-hole components.

See pic for examples of soldering anomalies.
Acceptable-Class1,2,3 .There are materials and processes,e.g.,lead free alloys and slow cooling with large mass PCBs, that may produce dull matte,gray,or grainy appearing solders that are normal for the material or process involved.These solder connections are acceptable. .The solder connection wetting angle (solder to component and solder to PCB termination do not exceed 90°(Figure). .As an exception,the solder connection to a termination may exhibit a wetting angle exceeding 90°(Figure)when it is

Component leads,sides of land patterns,conductors,and use of liquid photo image able solder resist,can have exposed basis metal per original designs. Some printed circuit board and conductor finishes have different wetting characteristics and may exhibit solder wetting only to specific areas. Exposed basis metal or surface finishes should be considered normal under these circumstances,provided the achieved wetting characteristics of the solder connection areas are acceptable.
