D-Coupon Testing for PCB Reliability: Verifying Plated Interconnect Performance

D-coupon testing provides valuable insight into the reliability of plated through-holes, vias, and microvias under thermal stress. By combining thermal cycling, electrical resistance monitoring, and cross-section analysis, D-coupon testing helps identify potential interconnect weaknesses that may not be visible through conventional inspection alone. For demanding PCB designs, especially multilayer and HDI PCBs, interconnect reliability is...
