[Case Study] Electrical Testing of Inserted Implementation Boards (Discrete Components)

Easily identify defective areas on the circuit board for anyone!!

In printed circuit board assembly, there are two methods: "Surface Mount Technology (SMT)," which involves soldering components on the surface of the printed circuit board, and "Insertion Mount Technology (IMT)," which involves inserting electrode lead terminals into the holes (through-holes) of the printed circuit board and soldering them. Takaya's flying probe tester is also skilled at inspecting insertion-mounted boards. For larger discrete components, manual assembly followed by visual inspection can lead to variability and the possibility of inspection errors. However, by using the flying probe tester, inspections can be conducted without mistakes, ensuring reliable traceability. For large hand-inserted components related to power lines, issues such as misplacement, bridging, shorts, and polarity, which are difficult to detect with AOI (automated optical inspection), can be electrically tested to prevent component and board damage during power-on, thereby reducing the occurrence of discarded boards. In recent years, as miniaturization and high-density integration of boards have progressed, surface mount technology has become mainstream, but there are still many boards manufactured using insertion mount technology.
