Abstract

The object of the present invention is to provide a method for detecting the soldering failure in IC terminal by tuning type sensor coil to electrically detect the soldering of an IC terminal at a high speed. A tuning type sensor coil provided with a sensor coil formed by winding a plurality of conductive coils on a cylindrical bobbin formed of a magnetic material core such as ferrite or the like having a diameter conformed to the outer dimension of an IC and a capacitor connected to the output end of the sensor coil, is set on the IC. A means for applying an AC (sine wave, pulse, etc.) signal to a measuring terminal in the IC grounded except the measuring terminal to detect the magnetic field generated by the current carried to a protective diode within the IC by the tuning type sensor coil set on the IC is given to all of the IC terminals. By the detection means of the tuning type sensor coil disposed on the IC, all of the IC terminals are measured. The propriety is judged by the comparison with a preliminarily stored reference value for non-defective IC.

The size of the sensing plate coil 2 made of a conductive plate such as copper is the external size corresponding to κ3. The central portion of the plate-shaped conductive plate is opened to a circle. Like a 1-turn coil, it is opened to a circle and a plate. Between the sides, there is a gap formed by cutting the flat plate. Since the tuning type sensor coil and the sensing flat coil 2 are connected in series with the same polarity, the detection sensitivity of the magnetic field can be improved by using two coils. Although one sensing flat coil can be used, the detection sensitivity can be increased by overlapping a large number of coils. If a printed circuit board with double-sided copper foil is used, two overlapping planar coils can be easily made. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the soldering defect detection method of the present invention, since a tuned sensing coil provided with a resonance circuit is used, the measurement method is simple, and high-speed inspection can be performed at a few ms per terminal required time. . For ICs with different external dimensions, if a sensing flat coil can be made that can correspond to the individual IC external dimensions, the size of the tuned plastic sensing coil installed on it can achieve a stable measurement and discrimination detection method with only one type.
