  If you have only this two choices, I should prefer ICT-to-FCT just because
ICT can caught inverted component and then can prevent some smoke at
functional test ...
  Keep in mind they have different defects coverage and the final decision
depends on the product complexity, some boards is better to have
AOI-5DX-ICT-FCT ...

Subject: [TN] 5DX vs. ICT


I am a newbie to the SMT world and would appreciate some assistance on a
question that came up this afternoon. I hope I get the question right; I
used to build rockets.

One of our customers wanted to know if we had any experience re: which is
better - a in-line 5DX-to-FCT process or an ICT-to-FCT process. Not a lot of
response around the table from the more experience hands. I assume "which is
better" means which process is a more efficient inspection setup for
locating nonconformances.

Would appreciate any comments. Now if you would excuse me, I am going out on
the floor to find a 5DX and figure out what the devil that is.
