Populated Printed Circuit Boards
Rapid
nondestructive analysis of small electronic components on
heterogeneous samples, like populated circuit boards, is
challenging for any size analytical instrument: individual
components are small and mounted close together, making them
difficult to analyze, and are themselves typically
heterogeneous in composition. Thermo Scientific NITON® 700
Series analyzers meet this challenge, combining the features
and performance of benchtop XRF analyzers with the
portability and ease of use of handheld devices.
Advantages of screening PCBs with the NITON 700 Series
include:
-
Available small-spot analysis reduces the spot size to 3
mm with the tap of an icon for analysis of
non-homogeneous parts, such as components, leads,
terminals, and solders joints
-
An integrated sample imaging system for locating,
positioning, analyzing, and recording the analytical
results of measurements – something previously only
achievable with benchtop XRF analyzers
-
Storing all measurement data including Pass/Fail
results, element concentrations, qualitative sample
information, and XRF spectra; results are encrypted and
saved in memory for compliance documentation,
traceability, and archiving
-
Full field analysis for analyzing larger, homogeneous
materials and identification of suspect areas requiring
additional measurement
