Automotive and EV electronics must meet strict requirements for safety, reliability and lifetime. For automotive PCB assembly and EV PCB assembly, quality control and traceability are critical.
APTPCB integrates comprehensive inspection and testing stages into the manufacturing flow for automotive and EV projects.
Key PCBA Quality Steps:
  • SPI (Solder Paste Inspection): Ensures proper paste volume and alignment, reducing solder joint defects.
  • AOI (Automated Optical Inspection): Checks component presence, polarity, placement and visible solder joints.
  • X-Ray Inspection (As Needed): Evaluates hidden joints under BGA, LGA, QFN and power packages, commonly used in ECUs, inverters and controllers.
  • In-Circuit Test (ICT) / Flying Probe (When Designed In): Verifies basic electrical connectivity and component values where test points and fixtures are available.
  • Functional Test (FCT): Runs product-specific test routines—such as power-up, communication on CAN/Ethernet, sensor simulation and actuation tests—according to your test specification.
  • Final Quality Inspection & Traceability: Confirms labeling, revision, cosmetic quality and packing, with lot-level or board-level traceability as required, supporting automotive quality systems.
