Practical unveils Fusionquad test boards
Practical Components
Test boards
With the wide acceptance of Amkor's Fusionquad (VQFP / HVF-PQFP), Practical Components has added two test boards to its product range.
The Fusionquad drop test board is intended to evaluate and compare drop performance of Fusionquad dummy electronic components to examine and quantify process suitability for hand-held electronic product applications in an accelerated test environment, where excessive flexure of a circuit board causes product failure.
The Practical Components part number is PCB300-FQ176-DT.
The Practical Components thermal test board for Fusionquad is the PCB300-FQ176-TC.
This board helps test and optimise assembly methods that may produce significant thermal gradients across the assembly in the x, y and z axes, aiding engineers to include a component's maximum temperature, ramp rate and solder paste being.
