3T uses FLIR camera to detect temperature differences on PCB components

The design of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) can be very complex. Dutch embedded electronics specialist 3T sometimes develops PCBs that have more than 2,000 different components. But what if something is wrong with one of those components? How can you see tiny faults in PCB components of less than a millimeter that might be the cause for a bigger PCB failure? Very often, thermal imaging will be the answer. 3T has been using thermal imaging cameras for many years throughout its different activities to detect hot spots of less than 125 microns.
