Reverse Engineering PCB Circuitry Validation

Reverse Engineering PCB Circuitry Validation Reverse Engineering PCB Circuitry Validation may consist of one or both of the two major electronic circuit disciplines, analog and/or digital. Documentations which include the layout drawing, list of component, Gerber file and schematic diagram should include the classical engineering tools and definitions. Analog circuit designs should be checked for:…

Reverse Engineering Circuit Board Material Analysis

Reverse Engineering Circuit Board Material Analysis Reverse Engineering Circuit Board Material Analysis Objective The material analysis, including chemical and metallurgical analysis, should be performed to determine the composition, surface treatments, finishes, hardness, and heat treatments pertinent to each piece-part/component. since circuit board can be made by various material from Fiber resin with glass cloth, the…

Mechanical Parts Dimensional Analysis in PC Board Reverse Engineering

In many cases, manufacturing methods, such as punched parts, injection molded, or investment cast parts, indicate Mechanical Parts Dimensional Analysis in PC Board Reverse Engineering. (1) Normally, items that are sheared or punched do not require a good surface finish on the sheared edge. However, in some cases, the manufacturer will intentionally punch a hole…

PCB Board Reverse Engineering Dimensional Analysis

PCB Board Reverse Engineering Dimensional Analysis objective refers to the electronic/mechanical components on the Printed circuit board, the dimensions define the size and shape of the part and locate all part features. Tolerances describe the dimensional limits to facilitate manufacturing while ensuring proper fit and function of parts or assemblies. A dimensional analysis should be…

Printed Circuit Board Reverse Engineering Analysis

Printed Circuit Board Reverse Engineering Analysis First of all,  Printed Circuit Board Reverse Engineering Analysis Objective Printed Circuit Board Reverse Engineering Analysis should be performed to develop the missing data required for a technical data package. In those cases where the existing technical documentation is either incomplete or unavailable which is quite normal for those…

Part Identification in PCB Reverse Engineering

Part Identification in PCB Reverse Engineering After disassembly each piece-part/component in PCB reverse engineering process should be researched to identify existing NSNs, commercially available hardware, MIL-STD parts, and non-standard parts. Economic analysis. An economic analysis should be performed on all sole-source and non-standard piece-parts/components to determine the cost-effectiveness of reverse engineering PCB’s piece-part/component. A limited…

Disassembly PCB Board Reverse Engineering Target

When Disassembly PCB Board Reverse Engineering Target, notes should be recorded for possible assembly procedures to be included in the Technical data package. As they are disassembled, a list of all piece-parts/components should be created, including quantities and special part markings which may indicate that the part is either commercially available or a military specifications…
