Just flip a coin – heads or tails?
Damage to components on a PCBA can be a result of several factors in combination with the correct data interpretation, and it is up to the measurement engineer to ensure the relevant values are reported. Using a combination of max, min, diagonal and absolute strain values is essential. This will enable the engineer to make the right adjustments and decisions.
Micro-measurements provide a complete one-stop shop for PCBA measurements, including pre-wired strain gauges, installation tools and accessories, and our StrainSmart systems and software. The comprehensive and easy-to-use software has integrated PCBA strain reports, and can be fully customised to reflect the specific PCB thickness and desired strain metric as a fixed value or equation. The above charts, reports and data were acquired and reported using our PCBA measurements demonstration rig, System 7100 and StrainSmart 7100 software. No additional hardware or software was used.
