Benefits of TA Jet. • Up to 100% BGA pins of solder joint’s Contacted/

Open inspection.• Up to 100% Intel 845 BGA pins of solder joint’s

Contacted/Open inspection.• Up to 100% SCSI / PCI SMD connector solder joint’s

Contacted/Open inspection.• Make sure where the true BGA failures are.

Parallel pins.

If circuit impedance small than 10ohms, the stimulus signal can not apply to almost a short circuit.

Logically BGA parallel pins are same circuit, we can not discriminate if one of them is open circuit.

Circuit impedance.

BGA relative components.

If the BGA relative component in O/S, missing part, wrong part fail, it may affect the test value of BGA.

Limitations of BGA Open/contacted test.
