91658-0020 Datasheet, PDF (1/2 Pages) Molex Electronics Ltd. – Module ID Traceability Pad | |||
|
The Traceability pad functions as a printed circuit board (WIP) identifier in high
volume electronic PCB manufacturing. Each pad contains a unique code number,
supplied already laser etched onto its surface, in a 2D matrix format. The code
number is easily read by commercially available optical scanners, such as Microscan
EZ Quadrus (see www.microscan.com). In the course of the customerâs PCB
manufacturing process, the traceability pad is picked and placed alongside other
components onto the application PCB and is solder reflowed. Each PCB thereby
gains a unique identification allowing the traceability data of all other components
contained on the populated PCB to be logged against the unique traceability code
number. Further on in the manufacturing process, the PCB identifier can be
incorporated into the identification of the final assembled device.
