From an initial design/release of a printed board, I would say no for
those who incorporate sufficient rigor in the design release process.
Transitioning of legacy product to new Suppliers may warrant additional
assembly level assessment.

Subject: [TN] Qualification of PWB Suppliers...

All,

 

Does Final Assembly and Functional Testing add value to Qualifying Bare
Board PWB Suppliers?

 

Put another way...is a Supplier's Continuity/Isolation/Controlled Z
Testing, and their Customer's Inspection of the Physical Product to its
Documentation, sufficient to Qualify the Supplier without additional
Assembly or Functional Testing?

 

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences with this.

 

John Balchunas
