PCB manufacturers talk about six inspection methods of PCB circuit board short circuit

Time:2024-09-05Views:


 1. Open the PCB design drawing on the computer, light up the short-circuited network, and see where it is closest, which is easy to connect to. Pay special attention to the short circuit inside the IC.

   2. If it is manual welding, develop a good habit:

   1. Before soldering, check the PCB board visually, and use a multimeter to check whether the key circuits (especially the power supply and the ground) are short-circuited;

  2, every time a chip is soldered, use a multimeter to check whether the power supply and the ground are short-circuited;


  3. Don't throw the soldering iron randomly when soldering. If you throw the solder onto the solder feet of the chip (especially surface mount components), it will not be easy to find.

   3. A short circuit is found. Take a board to cut the line (especially suitable for single/double-layer boards). After the line is cut, each part of the functional block is energized and eliminated step by step.

  Four, use short-circuit location analysis instrument

5. If there is a BGA chip, since all the solder joints are covered by the chip and are invisible, and it is a multilayer board (above 4 layers), the power supply of each chip is divided during the design and connected with magnetic beads or 0 ohm resistors. In this way, when the power supply and ground are short-circuited, the magnetic bead detection is disconnected, and it is easy to locate a certain chip. Because the welding of BGA is very difficult, if it is not automatically welded by the machine, a little carelessness will short-circuit the adjacent power supply and the ground two solder balls.

   Six. Be careful when welding small-size surface-mount capacitors, especially power supply filter capacitors (103 or 104), which are large in number, which can easily cause a short circuit between the power supply and the ground. Of course, sometimes with bad luck, the capacitor itself is short-circuited, so the solution is to check the capacitor before welding.
