Introducing the "Observation Mode" of a chip capacitor (MLCC) under a microscope!

We would like to introduce an example of cross-sectional observation of mounted components conducted by our company. Using commercially available computer circuit boards, we observed the solder joints of mounted components and the internal structures of the components with a metallurgical microscope. The observation modes of the metallurgical microscope include bright field observation, dark field observation, and polarized light observation, among others. Additionally, there are observations using transmitted light, and the observation mode is selected according to the sample. By conducting cross-sectional observations before and after reliability testing, we can evaluate the reliability of the product. When observing, it is important to select an appropriate "observation mode" to clearly capture the condition of the solder joint interface and defects such as cracks. [Case Overview] ■ Using commercially available computer circuit boards ■ Observing the solder joints of mounted components and the internal structures of the components with a metallurgical microscope ・Observation modes: bright field observation, dark field observation, polarized light observation, etc. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

You can closely observe the solder joint condition of electronic components on the implementation board and the internal structure of the components!

Our company conducts "cross-sectional observation of surface-mounted electronic components." Through cross-sectional observation after mechanical polishing, it is possible to closely examine the solder joint condition (presence of cracks and voids) of electronic components on the mounted substrate, as well as the internal structure of the components. For "SOP components," detailed observation can be made from the overall cross-section to the solder connection, while for "aluminum electrolytic capacitors," it is possible to observe the internal structure of the electrolytic capacitor components and their connection to the substrate. 【Features】 ■ SOP (Small Outline Package) components - Detailed observation can be made from the overall cross-section of SOP components to the solder connection. ■ Chip ceramic capacitors - Detailed observation can be made from cracks in the component material to cracks in the solder area. ■ Aluminum electrolytic capacitors - Observation can be made from the internal structure of the electrolytic capacitor components to their connection to the substrate. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "CCS2" is a ceiling-mounted vehicle counting sensor that employs an infrared reflection method. It can detect vehicles in both directions with just one unit, accurately counting vehicles even during traffic jams or when vehicles pass each other. Additionally, this product can be used not only for vehicle counting but also as a sensor for departure warnings. Furthermore, by using a separately sold dedicated remote control, it is easy to reset the sensor alone, switch the counting direction, and change the patterns of the departure warning timer. 【Features】 ■ Angle adjustment is possible up to ±5° ■ Can be installed in locations with high ceilings up to 4m ■ Detection area consists of 40 spots, allowing for wide-range detection ■ The display LEDs are color-coded by direction, making operation confirmation easy.

Many people may have questions like, "What can be done with IoT?" and "What is needed?" upon hearing the term IoT. Through digital communication, it is possible to obtain various information such as flow sensors, valves, circuit boards, and abnormal monitoring that were not accessible with traditional analog control. For example, by monitoring the valve opening, one can detect blockages in the equipment and identify leaks from cumulative flow. This information directly contributes to reducing downtime and improving quality through continuous long-term monitoring and knowledge-based management. Compatible models include those with digital communication via RS485, in addition to traditional analog controls like 0-5VDC and 4-20mA. (Older models such as the 58xxS, MfxxS series, SLA58xxS, and SLAMfxxS series). Even older models that do not support digital communication can be upgraded to the latest mass flow models, enabling digital communication. The dimensions between new and old models are the same, and no wiring changes are necessary. Additionally, we can provide control boxes for data collection from mass flow. This enables a "visualization" of small IoT without making large changes to the equipment.
