X-Ray Inspection 

What is X-Ray Inspection?

PCB assemblies have become smaller and smaller over the years and new designs are using significantly more ball grid array (BGA) and other types of devices with hidden solder connections, such as quad flat no-leads (QFN) and land grid arrays (LGAs). Such devices often have performance and cost advantages over larger packages with leads. X-ray provides the answer where you cannot optically see the solder connections. 

Why is X-Ray inspection used? 

X-ray can be used as part of the ‘first-off’ inspection process, helping to ensure enhanced quality for electronic assembly requirements. Another benefit of X-ray inspection is in resolving quality issues. X-ray allows inspection without resorting to potentially destructive re-work.
