What it is

The Glenbrook JewelBox-100T is an X-ray inspection system in the metrology and inspection category. The JewelBox-100T is part of the JewelBox series and is used for PCB X-ray analysis.[2][5]

How it works

The JewelBox-100T uses microfocus X-ray imaging to produce high-magnification images with gray-scale accuracy. The JewelBox-100T uses a 100 kV X-ray tube with a 5 micron focal spot, and the tube replaces a 90 kV tube with a 5 to 7 micron focal spot.[2]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The JewelBox-100T fits in inspection and failure-analysis workflows after assembly steps and before or during disposition decisions for electronic hardware. The JewelBox-100T is used to examine internal construction in assemblies where destructive cross-sectioning is not desired.

Applications

The JewelBox-100T is used where internal solder, bond, and attachment features must be inspected through opaque package materials. The JewelBox-100T supports inspection of both high-density and low-density devices.[2]
