Infrared cameras for electronic boards

[Giuseppe]

Hi, I was considering purchasing an infrared camera for repairing electronic boards
I saw the TOOLTOP ET692C professional thermal imaging camera 256*192 and also the A-BF RX-500 infrared thermal imaging camera, what do you think of these 2 models? Do you have other products to recommend? Thank you

I use a FLIR ETS320 for design verification and thermal imaging on ICs. It is extremely easy to use and has PC-based software to generate reports, etc. It is much more expensive than a simple handheld but is extremely versatile. They also alow hands free operation

Thanks for answering me . I have seen the product of FLIR ETS320 but it is very expensive for my finances. I also saw the Fluke iSee TC01A IR product, what do you think?

I had a mistake, I put another camera, sorry, this is the correct one


Hello friend, I use this camera, it is cheap, I hope it works for you.

That looks extremely  good for the money Oscar.  I guess it depends on the resolution and accuracy you need. We have always used Flir as there sensor tech and software is really good and they are reliable. For Flir the ets320 is a base model but is still expensive. If you are designing then these are a must for calculating MTBF and looking at trace heating and thermal gradients across the board. Ideally you need to be able to clearly see 0402 or 0201.
Try to get the highest resolution for your budget.  I'm not saying that one Oscar has posted isn't good but if it fails then good luck look at getting a replacement.
