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 "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is kept to a minimum. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

What is an Air Leak Tester? An "Air Leak Tester" is a device that pressurizes the inside (or outside) of a sealed workpiece with air and determines the presence of leaks based on pressure changes. When a master with no leaks and a workpiece with leaks are pressurized, the pressure on the workpiece side decreases, creating a pressure difference between the two. By measuring this pressure difference, the presence of leaks can be determined. Generally, differential pressure air leak testing is widely used, but Fukuda also offers products that utilize direct pressure leak testing and flow meters according to the leak rate, in addition to differential pressure leak testers. Since the air leak tester uses air as the measurement medium, it incurs no running costs and is environmentally friendly.
