Analysis laboratory for electronic assemblies and components

We test chips for authenticity, functionality and quality. This is done, among other things, by laboratory tests that we adapt to the requirements and needs of the respective manufacturer or customer. Some of the most common laboratory tests on chips are listed below:

Electrical testing: these tests examine the electrical properties of the chip, such as continuity, conductivity, and capacitance.

Chemical analysis: we provide analysis to determine the composition of the materials in the chip. For example, in the case of counterfeits or impurities.

Mechanical and physical tests include measurement of dimensions or strength of solder joints

Climatic and temperature testing: where the chip is exposed to and operated in various climatic conditions to ensure that it functions properly under extreme conditions and does not malfunction.

Microscopy and X-ray analysis: imaging methods are used to examine the structure and design of the chip. This can help identify weaknesses and possible flaws in the chip design.

Connectors and contacts are important components in electronic devices and systems, as they provide a reliable connection between different components. To ensure that these connections are reliable and free of defects, we offer various examinations.

One of the most important examination methods for connectors and contacts is electrical testing. This involves measuring the electrical properties of the contacts to ensure that they are functioning properly and that there are no connection problems. For example, testing may include measuring resistance or conductivity.

Another important method for examining connectors and contacts is visual inspection. Particularly in damage analysis, our experts visually inspect contacts to ensure they are clean and free of contaminants or damage. If a connector or contact is damaged, this can lead to a faulty connection and ultimately a failure of the entire system.

Mechanical tests can also be performed to check the mechanical properties of the contacts. This involves examining the durability of the contacts, for example, to ensure that they can withstand repeated use.

Surface-mounted devices (SMDs) are small electronic components that are mounted directly on the surface of printed circuit boards.

One of the most important inspection methods for SMD components is visual inspection. This involves examining the components using a microscope to ensure that they are correctly placed and free of damage. Incorrect placement or damage can lead to faulty operation or failure of the component.

In some cases, thermal testing is also performed to ensure that SMD components remain stable and reliable at high temperatures. This is especially important in applications where high temperatures may be encountered, such as in the aerospace industry.

Cables are used in many applications to transmit electrical signals and power.

One of the most important tests of cables is the continuity test. This checks whether all conductors within the cable are electrically connected to each other.

Another important test of cables is the insulation test. This checks the integrity of the insulation of the cable.

In addition, we also offer special tensile and bending tests to ensure that the cable can withstand your mechanical stresses. This is particularly important in applications where the cable is subject to heavy stress, for example in the automotive industry or robotics.

Displays are indispensable in many electronic devices and serve to display information or control. To ensure that they function properly, we test them and verify their performance.

Aspects such as impact resistance, scratch resistance or chemical resistance can be evaluated in this way.

Buttons are among the most frequently used components in electronic devices and are often subject to wear and damage. A damage analysis is therefore often necessary to find out why a key is no longer functioning properly.

Damage analysis of buttons usually begins with a visual inspection to determine if the button is damaged externally or if there are signs of wear, cracks or scratches. Microscopic examination can be helpful in identifying minor damage that is not visible to the naked eye.

If no damage is visible externally, an electrical test can be performed to determine whether or not the button’s electrical contact is working.

Another way to analyze the damage is to disassemble the key. In this case, we open the key to examine the inside and to detect possible damage or contamination.
