Key Features & Benefits

Dynamic & Static Testing

Flexibility to adopt both dynamic and static testing methods as per IPC standards, meeting diverse customer requirements without dual equipment investment.

Precision Measurement

Accurately measures ionic contamination levels by detecting conductivity changes caused by charged particles on PCB surfaces.

IPC Standards Compliant

Fully compliant with IPC-TM-650 testing methods including ROSE test (2.3.25) and Ion Chromatography (2.3.28).

What is Ionic Contamination?

Ionic contamination is the presence of charged particles (ions) on electronic surfaces that can interfere with proper device functioning. These ions, introduced through dust, moisture, or pollutants, leave residues that can disrupt current flow, cause short circuits, or interfere with sensitive component operations.

Why Ionic Contamination Testing Matters

Critical for aerospace, automotive, military, and telecommunications industries, contamination-free PCBs are mandatory for conformal coating, epoxy shaking, or underfill processes. Flux residue left on assemblies causes delamination and poor wetting, making cleanliness testing a routine quality control procedure.
