PCB Tests & Inspections

We are committed to delivering the highest quality printed circuit boards to our customers. To ensure this, we conduct a range of rigorous tests and inspections throughout the PCB production process and after the PCBs are completed. Below are the key tests and inspections we perform to guarantee the reliability and performance of every PCB.

IQC (Incoming Quality Inspection)

We understand the critical importance of Incoming Quality Control (IQC) in ensuring the reliability and quality of our PCBs. Defective components can lead to significant losses for both our customers and us, which is why we carry out IQC with the utmost attention to detail. By detecting defects early, IQC not only helps reduce costs but also ensures that products meet the highest standards, maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction. For us, IQC is an essential step in producing reliable, high-quality PCBs, and we make it a priority in our manufacturing process.

Manual Visual Inspection

While we utilize advanced methods like AOI (Automated Optical Inspection), electrical testing, and other inspections in our PCB manufacturing process, manual visual inspection remains a crucial step. Certain defects, such as imperfections in the base material, solder mask, silkscreen, or other subtle flaws, may not be detected by automated equipment. Our meticulous manual visual inspection ensures that any such visual defects or imperfections are identified and addressed before the PCBs are shipped for use. This thorough process helps us maintain the highest standards of quality and reliability for every product.

While advanced AVI (Automated Visual Inspection) machines have been developed, at Gold Mate, we believe that manual visual inspection remains an essential part of our quality control process.
