Hi Jim,



C-SAM (low frequency) can do it.

Subject: [TN] Detection of potential cracked capacitors and resistors



Looking for a quick/easy way (if this is even possible), to verify if

ceramic capacitors and/or resistors placed on a PCA are cracked.  

 

Can an X-ray be used to check for cracked capacitors and resistors?  



We had an issue with hand soldering of other components that compromised

the PCA and could possibly lead to cracked components.  If X-ray cannot

detect the cracks, are they other methods of inspecting for cracked

components that you guys can think of?  Besides electrical test (PCA's will

not fit in electrical test fixture now due to hand mounted components).



Thanks,

Jim
