X “-ray inspection is” a specific test that can be used on electronic boards to more easily detect issues with components where optical inspection isn’t possible (such as BGAs, QFNs, etc.).
It’s a test that I consider very useful but not essential.
It “’s important to discuss the” usefulness of this test.
X “-ray inspection can be used to: verify component soldering (especially in BGAs and QFNs), verify component authenticity, detect short circuits, identify internal PCB issues, and detect internal component problems”.
We will explore each point in detail over the coming weeks.
