We do an inspection, but, we do not do any destructive testing. What we do look for is the following: 1. Packaging and condition of packaging. 2. Test stamp on boards that require test 3. Condition of the plating 4. AQL on hole size 5. Alignment of Silkscreen 6. Measling/Delam or other scratches or spots 7. Warping 8. Panelization -- to verify it's what we want Pro's of doing inspection -- you may catch a problem that your supplier didn't. Con's of doing inspection -- you spend money to inspect something you paying for to be right the first time. -Carrie -----Original Message----- From: Mike Williams [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2003 10:00 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Skip Lot inspection I am looking for some input on skip lot inspection of bare pwb's upon receipt from the supplier. We are currently performing our own destructive analysis to determine acceptability over and above what the supplier performs. Any opinions pro and con are welcome.
