SCS Ionograph Test Systems
SCS offers a full range of capacity and control to
meet the needs of any lab or manufacturer. Designed
for fast and accurate ionic contamination cleanliness
testing, SCS Ionographs:
• Determine the cleanliness of electronic
components, assemblies with SMT devices, and
bare and assembled printed circuit boards.
• Provide an accurate, repeatable and rapid method
for determining cleanliness on location.
• Provide immediate process control results,
negating the need for outside laboratory testing.
• Verify proper cleanliness of surfaces prior
to the application of conformal coatings or
potting compounds.
• Comply with current industrial specifications
such as ANSI/J-STD-001 and IPC-TM-650,
and obsolete military specifications, e.g., MIL-
STD-2000A.
SCS Ionograph SMD II and IV
SCS Ionograph SMD II and IV are floor units
commonly used for larger circuit boards in high-
volume production environments. Submerged
agitation jets and heated extract solution provide
outstanding sensitivity, operation efficiency and
the ability to test ultra-fine pitch components
with ease and accuracy.
The SCS Ionograph SMD II and IV offer users
the ability to test components with a heated or
non-heated test solution. IPC-TM-650 describes
the benefit of a heated solution to “accelerate
and improve the efficiency of extraction of ionic
material from poorly accessible regions, such as
under surface-mounted components.” In addition
to increasing cleaning efficiency, a heated system
also ensures temperature consistency of the test
solution, whereas solution temperature in an
unheated system can vary due to circulation
pump friction created during the testing process.
The SMD II model is now available with a
convenient onboard all-in-one computer,
providing efficient control and monitoring of
the test system using SCS PowerView™ software.
The SMD IV is the first ionic testing system
in the market to offer Bluetooth® technology
for wireless communication. In addition to
NFPA compliance, the SMD IV is also the first
cleanliness testing unit that is ETL-listed to
UL STD 61010-1, ATEX and CE compliant, and
nitrogen-inerted for added safety.
Specialty Coating Systems’ name is synonymous in the industry with automated
ROSE (Resistivity of Solvent Extract) testing systems. SCS Ionograph® ionic
contamination test systems utilize the dynamic extraction method to measure
resistivity change when a substrate is submerged in the ultra-pure test solution.
The degree of change in resistivity indicates the level of contamination, which
is often the result of residues from fabrication and board assembly processes.
