Cleaning Validation for High‑Impedance and High‑Voltage PCBAs: A Field Guide That Actually Predicts Drift
For high-impedance and high-voltage PCBAs, “clean” is proven by stable insulation under humidity, bias, and time—not by a green bulk ionic number. This field guide shows how localized residues, rework, and rinse/process control predict drift (and how to validate it).

Yield Ramp Service: Turning a Fragile Prototype Into a Stable Pilot Run
Yield ramp service turns a fragile pilot into a repeatable process by pairing short-term containment with root-cause closure. Learn how credible defect data, paste and reflow control, operator loops, and a golden build packet prevent drift and “rented” output.

Bed-of-Nails Fixtures as a Service: The Mid-Volume Escape Hatch for Teams That Can’t Wait
Bed-of-nails fixtures as a service bridge the gap between flying probe and full ICT for mid-volume teams under schedule pressure. The real buy is ownership: modular design, fast ECO updates, and maintenance that keeps yield stable.

BGA Rework Service Rules: When Reballing Saves the Build—and When It Ruins It
Reballing can look like a win while quietly pushing marginal boards toward pad damage, flex failures, and warranty returns. This guide lays out clear stop conditions, pad-health gates, X-ray usage, and profiling discipline to decide when to reball—and when to decline.

Box Build Integration That Actually Prevents Pinched Cables, Loose Screws, and Shipping Damage
Functional tests can pass and units can still fail after shipping or install when mechanical issues mimic electrical faults. This guide shows how to prevent DOA returns with auditable harness routing, verified fastener and ground control, and pack-out designed for carrier indifference.
