Hidden BGA Defect Cost Estimator

AOI cannot inspect BGA solder joints. Estimate your annual rework exposure when defects reach shipping — and the savings X-ray inspection delivers.

Boards with ≥1 BGA component per month

Average finished board value or BOM cost

Include all BGA-related field failures & returns

Tech hours + materials for BGA rework / reballing

Affects how many hidden defects escape to field

Annual Defect Cost Estimate

Model based on: rework costs 10–20× assembly cost (IPC industry data); X-ray QC reduces defect rates by up to 30% (EMS benchmark); field failure cost estimated at 15× rework cost (includes warranty, logistics, customer NTF returns). Actual costs vary by product and customer contract.
