quality

In the dynamic environment of electronic production, especially in SMD board assembly, the adoption of advanced quality processes such as 2D/3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), spike bed (ICT/FCT testing), functional testing, assembly and X-ray verification, form the backbone to ensure excellence in end products. 2D/3D AOI is essential for detecting surface and volume defects in components and welds, ensuring early identification of errors and compliance with quality standards. The needle bed, through the ICT (Integrated Circuit Test) and FCT (Functional Test) tests, allows to evaluate not only the correct installation of components but also the complete electronic functionality of the board, ensuring that each unit work according to specifications.

Functional testing takes this process a step further by simulating the device’s operating environment to verify its performance under real-world conditions, which is crucial for anticipating and correcting failures before they reach the end user. On the other hand, precision assembly and X-ray verification provide a detailed view of the internal layers of the boards, identifying potential hidden defects that other techniques might miss, such as cold welds or solder bridges.

The integration of these quality processes not only raises the standard of the electronic products produced, but also reflects a commitment to excellence and innovation. This proactive approach to quality significantly reduces the risk of failure, improves customer satisfaction and strengthens the company’s competitiveness in the market. In summary, the virtues of implementing these rigorous quality controls in the production of SMD boards are critical to ensure the delivery of reliable and high-performance electronic products, positioning the company as a leader in quality and reliability in the electronics industry. .

Finish / Protections

The coating of electronic boards is a crucial process that involves the application of a protective layer on the components and circuits. This practice is carried out with the aim of protecting electronic elements against adverse factors such as moisture, dust, vibrations and temperature changes, as well as possible mechanical and chemical damage. In addition, the coating helps prevent the corrosion of metals and the degradation of materials, significantly extending the useful life of the devices.

One of the main advantages of applying the coating to the boards is its ability to improve the reliability of electronic equipment. In demanding environments or in extreme conditions, this protective layer is essential to ensure the correct and continued operation of the devices. The risk of short circuits and other electrical problems is also significantly reduced, as the coating acts as an effective insulator.

In short, the coating offers robust protection and extends the life of electronic components, being an essential investment for any application that requires high durability and constant performance, especially in sectors such as automotive, medicine, or the military industry. This process not only increases the security of the devices but also contributes to the reduction of long-term maintenance and repair costs.

Potting , or encapsulated, is a procedure used in the manufacture of electronic boards to increase their protection and durability. This technique involves filling a component or an entire board with a liquid compound that, once hardened, forms a solid, protective barrier. This barrier protects the electronic components against impact, moisture, dust, vibration and other environmental factors that could damage the circuits.

One of the main advantages of encapsulation is its ability to comprehensively protect the most vulnerable components. Unlike coating , which applies a thin, superficial layer, potting completely submerges the components, offering a much more robust and complete protection. This is particularly useful in applications where the devices are exposed to extremely adverse conditions, such as in marine electronics or in devices used in heavy industrial environments.

In addition, potting also contributes to improving the dielectric strength of the assembly, thus increasing the safety of the devices in high voltage applications. This technique can help prevent short circuits and other electrical problems resulting from exposure to moisture or conductive substances.

In conclusion, encapsulation is essential for protecting and extending the useful life of electronic components under demanding conditions. With its application, manufacturers can ensure that their products are able to withstand the toughest environmental challenges, while reducing the costs associated with maintenance and repair. This makes potting a valuable investment for industries such as automotive, aerospace, defense and anyone else that requires extra protection in their electronic components.

ISOs

ISO 9001 is an international standard that defines the requirements for a quality management system (QMS). Having this certification is essential for companies that want to demonstrate their ability to offer products and services that meet both customer expectations and legal and regulatory requirements. Implementing an ISO 9001-compliant QMS helps improve internal processes, increase efficiency and optimize resource management, all while ensuring continuous improvement. In addition, having this certification can improve the image of the company in front of customers and can be a decisive factor in the granting of new contracts or in entering new markets. In short, ISO 9001 not only reinforces product quality and reliability, but also promotes a culture of excellence and trust between customers and suppliers. APPROVED 2024

ISO 13485 is an international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system specifically designed for the medical device industry.
