March 25, 2021 | Koh YoungEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Koh Young, the industry leader in True3D™ measurement-based inspection solutions will present a free smart inspection webinar on Wednesday, 31 March 2021 at 10:00AM CDT (GMT -5). The webinar will focus on how intelligent inspection solutions focused on pin and terminal inspection to increase productivity, improve quality, and reduce costs. Register today to secure your seat in the virtual event and understand how Koh Young solutions can help you to drive down defects in automotive and connector applications. Register today to secure your seat in the virtual event to learn from how to reduce costs and increase yields with Koh Young.
“Using our world-class True3D™ AOI technology, we designed the award-winning KY-P3 to overcome pin inspection challenges like high false call rates and escapes,” commented Gustavo Jimenez, Regional Sales Manager at Koh Young. “The KY-P3 provides an automated solution combining advanced high-resolution optics with innovative AI-powered algorithms for automated pin inspection. I look forward to discussing how we deliver unmatched capabilities that directly help automotive and connector assembly applications,” concluded Gustavo.
Incorporating the world’s first full 3D quad-projection probe, the system delivers shadow-free measurement of SMDs and pins up to 25mm tall. Additionally, the “Stop-and-Go” movement allows it to capture 3D measurement data without system vibration, image stitching, or data interpolation. The KY-P3s deliver reliable 3D measurement results with superior accuracy to boost your productivity and reduce costs.
Ideal for single pin, array, forked, press-fit, and more configurations, the KY-P3 quickly and accurately measures pin height, presence/absence, offset, shoulder height (absolute and relative), and coplanarity. It also measures the critical distance between features in absolute and relative terms, as well as inner/outer wall distances and pin separation. The system is even capable of solder paste height measurement and users are deploying it for Final Optical Inspection (FOI) of engine control units. Because the solution uses a measurement-based approach, the KY-P3 accuracy and repeatability are unsurpassed.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
