Quality and proof

Certification, testing and patents

Defense, automotive and medical programmes need the paperwork as much as the board. Everything on this page is a certificate or a report PEAK holds, reproduced from the company's own records.

How boards are verified

Electrical and physical verification happens in the same plant that builds the board, so a failure is diagnosed rather than shipped back.

  1. Electrical test and analysisFlying probe, impedance coupons, slice analysis, hole copper, peel and tensile testing, cold and heat shock, halogen content.
  2. Assembly and final testStencil, SMT, DIP, wave solder, then 100% AOI with ICT, FCT, X-ray, vibration and drop testing to IPC-A-610 Class II.
