X \u201c-ray inspection is\u201d 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.).<\/p>\n

It’s a test that I consider very useful but not essential.<\/p>\n

It \u201c’s important to discuss the\u201d usefulness of this test.<\/p>\n

X \u201c-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\u201d.<\/p>\n

We will explore each point in detail over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
