National Physical Laboratory NPL Industry Defect Database
NPL Electronics Interconnect Team is creating a Defects Database as part of
their continuing support to the electronics industry, this will be available
in the near future at <http://defectsdatabase.npl.co.uk/>
http://defectsdatabase.npl.co.uk The database was suggested as an industry
project by members of the Industry Advisory Group IAG, recommending that NPL
were best equipped to coordinate the activity due to their scientific and
manufacturing expertise. By collecting together common problems and making
example images freely available to industry world wide it will assist
engineers implement corrective actions in their process or design.
To further assist and aid a better understanding of manufacturing problems
and issues from a supplier's prospective NPL are circulating three surveys
to establish the most common problems experienced or highlighted. The short
surveys are aimed at:
Printed Board Assembly Companies
<http://defectsdatabase.npl.co.uk/surveys/assembly.pdf>
http://defectsdatabase.npl.co.uk/surveys/assembly.pdf
PCB Manufacturers/Distributor/Broker
<http://defectsdatabase.npl.co.uk/surveys/pcb.pdf>
http://defectsdatabase.npl.co.uk/surveys/pcb.pdf
Component Manufactures & Distributors
<http://defectsdatabase.npl.co.uk/surveys/components.pdf>
http://defectsdatabase.npl.co.uk/surveys/components.pdf
Please take a couple of minuets to download, complete and return the
relevant survey. When the full results are compiled we will be happy to send
you a copy of the results of the three combined surveys. You will then be
able to compare the results of the survey and the ongoing contributions to
the NPL Industry Defect Database.
The aim of the database is to include the following information in an
interactive searchable database:
Example defects or failures
Material type
Probable causes
Product application and service environment
Product volume
Percentage failure
Many thanks
