Subject: RE: [TN] Via holes damaged

Group,

What is the industry standard for probing vias then?  Is industry
changing to a less aggressive probe due to this new spec, 10.2.9.3?  Has
anyone else questioned this?  The issue is we sometimes use a fairly
aggressive probe to reduce the amount of false calls/failures at ICT.
These probes can leave marks as shown in 10.2.9.3.  How is industry
dealing with this?

Mary,

You indeed have a defect...

1. Surface finish damaged exposing substrate/copper 2. Looks like metal
overhanging into hole.
Solder mask damage probably exposing fibers (which of itself is not a
problem but due to the length of the damage it would be a defect) 3.
Consider the annular ring a trace (which in all respects it is), from
this image you have an 'open' as well as damage to the pad/hole wall
interface...another reason for a reject.

It really does not look like a test probe damage, more like physical
damage from a hand tool, or mechanical...I would ask someone at test
what they used on it for repair???

 Please see information below from the engineer who is working on this
issue and also the attachment.

Thanks.

Group,

This issue is related to Section 10.2.9.3.  As you can see from Page 1
of the attachment, IPC states that damage to a conductor or land is a
defect Class 1, 2, or 3.  This is not in Rev C.

If you refer to the picture on Page 2, it was taken from a production
unit.  As you can see, 3 vias have damage that we believe came from our
ICT test probes.

Is this a defect according to the new IPC A 610 D?  The picture in
section 10.2.9.3 looks like it was caused by a ICT probe also.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

What are you considering damage?

If the probe is merely indenting the metal this may not be considered
'damage'.

If the probe is piercing the finish, exposing copper then inspect it
according to exposed copper, if it is exposing glass, inspect it to
exposed glass, if it is lifting the pad, inspect to lifted pads, if it
is damaging the hole wall, copper separation, reduced hole size, etc etc
etc then inspect to such.

Group,

I have a question on via holes damaged by test probes.  We have a
situation where some of the annular ring of the vias used for test
points are being damaged.  I have looked in the IPC-A-610 Rev. D and
also IPC-A-600 Rev. G, but am not finding what I need or am not looking
in the right place.  If anyone knows of the requirements of what is
acceptable or a defect for this type of condition, please let me know.

Thanks.

Mary Jane
