Board
6-layer control PCB
An example review, so you know what you'll get.
A redacted sample of the review every customer receives. We flag the manufacturability and reliability risks in your design, honestly and free. Getting them right, and building boards that can't fail, is what we do together.
Verdict
Manufacturable. Buildable to IPC-A-610 class, with 4 design risks and 2 sourcing risks to resolve before build.
Findings & Risk
| Severity | Area | What we found & why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Risk | Solder & thermal | Ground pour on U7 has no thermal relief on two pads. → Cold-joint & tombstoning risk at reflow, resolved with you before build. |
| Risk | DFM / spacing | A cluster of 0201s sits below our courtyard process window. → Solder-bridging risk in volume, corrected together at DFM. |
| Advisory | Testability | Four critical nets have no test access. → Limits in-circuit & functional coverage, so the test strategy is defined with you. |
| Sourcing | Obsolescence | Two components are nearing end-of-life with extended lead times. → Supply risk, so qualified alternates are sourced through our 1,000+ distributor network when we build. |
| Handling | Moisture sensitivity | One MSL-3 device identified. → Dry-stored, baked and floor-life tracked in our controlled component storage, so there is no popcorning risk at reflow. |
| Planned | Inspection | All 8 BGAs have hidden joints under the package. → 100% 5-axis real-time X-ray scheduled, so every ball and void is verified rather than assumed. |
What this is worth: catching these before the first build avoids a respin, protects your timeline, and means the boards we ship are right the first time. It is exactly why programmes that can't fail come to us.
How the free review works: we flag every risk we find, honestly and free. The detailed fixes, and a board that can't fail, come from building it with us. Your design and IP stay yours, and we put an NDA in place before any files change hands.
