Abstract:
A circuit board assembly inspection method includes the following steps: measuring a geometrical characteristic value of a solder layer before soldering an electronic component to a circuit board and comparing the geometric characteristic value with a predetermined value and defining the grad of the solder layer according to a comparing result of the comparing step and performing a defective product process to the circuit board having an extremely bad solder layer, measuring a quality characteristic value of a solder joint layer after soldering the electronic component to the circuit board and comparing the quality characteristic value with a predetermined quality parameter value and then defining the grade of the solder joint layer according to a comparing result of the comparing step, manually inspecting the circuit board assembly having both an medium-grade solder layer a the poor solder joint layer.

Claim (Index 1):
A circuit board assembly inspection method for inspecting at least one circuit board assembly, said at least one circuit board assembly each comprising a circuit board and at least one electronic component, said circuit board comprising at least one solderable area and a solder layer located on each said solderable area, each said electronic component comprising at least one pin capable of being soldered to said circuit board through said solder layer so that a solder joint layer which is made from said solder layer is formed between said pin and said circuit board, the circuit board assembly inspection method comprising the steps of:\n measuring a geometrical characteristic value of at least one geometric parameter of said solder layer before soldering said at least one electronic component to said circuit board, comparing said geometric characteristic value with a predetermined geometric parameter value, defining said solder layer to be a good-grade solder layer, a medium-grade solder layer, an inferior-grade solder layer or an extremely bad solder layer according to a comparing result of the comparing step, performing a defective product process to said circuit board having said extremely bad solder layer; measuring a quality characteristic value of at least one quality parameter of said solder joint layer after soldering said at least one electronic components to said circuit board to form said at least one circuit board assembly, comparing the quality characteristic value with a predetermined quality parameter value, defining said solder joint layer as a good solder joint layer or a poor solder joint layer according to a comparing result of the comparing step; and manually inspecting the said at least one circuit board assembly having both the said medium-grade solder layer and the said poor solder joint layer.
