Our Capabilities
DIVSYS-ICAPE’s fully equipped laboratory offers a complete range of testing services for both bare and assembled printed circuit boards, rework and technical support. Our in-house lab inspects the boards we procure to guarantee an exact match with the design file, while offering standalone services to detect a wide range of manufacturing defects.
PCB Validation test
PCB TEST
- Microsection PCB
- Solderability test
- Thermal Stress (10 second solder float)
- Thermal Stress coupon Evaluation for cracks, voids, delamination
- Surface Finish thickness by XRF measurement
Microsection PCB - Destructive Test
PCB TEST
PCB Micro-section analysis of the copper and “hole” quality is the most thorough of all of the tests as it allows the examiner to look “inside” the PCB at the quality of the construction, the copper plating, the hole formation, the dielectric separation (which also defines the AC impedance), the lamination process, and the base copper. The IPC has defined 42 different “rejectable” defects that can be seen in one micro section.
The test includes:
- Remove a section from the PCB to allow a micro section to view the interior features
- In-hole Copper Thickness (Minimum of 6 readings)
- Base copper thickness (all layers)
- Plated copper thickness
- Wicking Length (if excessive)
- Dielectric Thickness
EQUIPMENT:
- Keyence VHX 7000 Microscope
- Struers Micro Section System
Surface Finish Thickness (AU, NI, AG, HASL, SN)
PCB TEST
Measurement of the surface finish thickness (Au, Ni, Ag, HASL, Sn) by X-Ray Fluorescence on 10 positions
EQUIPMENT:
- Micro Pioneer XRF2000
Bare Board Electrical Test
PCB TEST
Automatic test to verify net continuity and the absence of shorts on the board
EQUIPMENT:
- MicroCraft EMX6151 Flying
Dimensional Comparison To Print
PCB TEST
Mechanical dimension checking
EQUIPMENT:
- View Summit System
Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) Test
PCB TEST
Measure the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the PCB
EQUIPMENT:
- Ta Instruments Q20 DSC
Ionic Contamination
PCB/PCBA TEST
Cleanliness Testing is used to measure the amount of ionic contamination left on the surface by the PCB process. A cleanliness tester is filled with a solution of 75% AIPA and 25% DI H20 to dissolve the surface contamination.
The PCB (Or PCBA) is immersed in the solution. This is a Go / No go test that the PCB or PCBA is clean.
The resulting “dirty” solution is measured and converted to a standard using “Equivalent Micro Grams of Sodium Chloride” which is divided by the surface area of the sample to arrive at an ug/in2 or ug/cm2.
The IPC acceptance is <10ug/in2 or < 1.65ug/cm2. Standard cleanliness per IPC TM 650 method 2.3.25.
EQUIPMENT:
- SCS Ionograph BT Series
Ion Chromatography
PCB/PCBA TEST
Separates the different ions to be able to measure the concentration of each of them
Ion Chromatography per IPC TM 650 method 2.3.28
- Ion Chromatography (IC) is employed when the sample fails the IPC maximum acceptability or if the customer has defined a maximum concentration of a specific ION.
- For the Ion Chromatograph, there are two types of ions (Anions and Cations). In PCB fabrication, we are usually only concerned with Anions and hence the measurement standard using equivalent micro grams of chloride.
- However, in the no-clean flux of PCBA processing, we also can have Cations. This requires a different measurement system. Both types of ions must be measured and noted for a PCBA.
EQUIPMENT:
- Dionex ICS-2100
- Dionex AQUION and ASDV
Chamber Testing
PCB/PCBA TEST
Thermal shock testing is a cycling of low and high temperature to accelerate failures caused by repeated temperature variations during normal use conditions. In our case, we can perform temperature and humidity variation.
EQUIPMENT:
- T5S5 Environmental Test Chamber
BGA Removal/Replace
PCBA TEST
The Removal and Replacement of BGAs or other Bottom Terminated Parts requires specialized equipment
Services include: the removal or replacement of BGA components from a PCBA
For the replacement of the components, we use only New Parts
EQUIPMENT:
- ERSA Kurtz IR/PL 650
X-RAY ANALYSIS
PCBA TEST
Check the integrity of hidden solder connections on the PCBA (such as BGA balls). The PCB can be checked for the alignment of the layers or for voids in the via holes.
- When evaluating the integrity of a solder connection, an X-RAY image is invaluable to be able to see the actual connection in a non-destructive fashion.
- The X-RAY image can be viewed at various angles to reveal the amount of “attachment between the PCB pads, the component pins and/or the BGA
EQUIPMENT:
- Nordson Dage Quadra 3
Microsection PCBA
PCBA TEST
Examine solder connections on the PCBA or make internal measurements of the PCB’s copper thickness, inner layers, or hole quality
For solder connections, each location is ground and polished to three depths
The test includes:
- Three (3) locations in the solder connection (25%, 50%, 75%)
- Thickness of the solder between pin and pad
- Size of any voids in the solder connection
- Intermetallic thickness
EQUIPMENT:
- Keyence VHX 7000 Microscope
- Struers Micro Section System
