thermal camera for pcb repair

Hi everyone! First up, today you are going to learn about a neat little tool that you can use to help fix broken PCBs. One cool tool doing the work is a thermal camera and it has great features!

First, let’s see what is thermal camera, how does it works. A thermal camera is a special form of camera able to see heat. Regular cameras take pictures of things we can see, but thermal cameras tell us how hot or cold different areas of a PCB are. When you want to repair a broken PCB, this is super useful because it can help you spot problems that you might miss otherwise.

The Benefits of Thermal Imaging for PCB Repair

Benefits of Fixing PCBs Using a Thermal Camera One of the best reasons to use one is that it can help you find potential issues that can be difficult to see. Parts on a PCB always mirror parts that are performing well; occasionally the broken piece looks fully functional. They may appear identical, same color and shape, so you wouldn’t see the difference by looking! But with a thermal camera, for example, you may find that the area that is broken is much hotter than the surrounding areas. This is useful as if you can identify the hot part, you can then replace it and have the entire PCB be functional again.

So how a thermal camera works is: It relies on infrared radiation to sense heat. Infrared radiation is a kind of energy we cannot see, but we can feel it as heat. Remember when the sun warms your skin, that is infrared radiation! An object emits more infrared radiation when hotter than all surrounding objects. The thermal camera detects this radiation and translates it into an image that is displayed on the screen. That lets you know exactly where the hot spots are on the PCB.
