Loaded board testing pays for itself by reducing field returns and bone-pile scrap. You seldom read an article about PCBs or semiconductors without encountering test-related phrases and acronyms. Cost ...

As test targets shrink, the benefits of socketless probing technology grow. As technology advances, more and more electronic components that do bigger and better things are hitting the market. At the ...

Aimed at engineering benches where the use of conventional fixtures can be too costly, PCB test-fixture kits from Merifix enable engineers to replace unreliable, makeshift lash-ups with proper ...

This article summarizes the content of a paper jointly developed and presented by Advantest and Infineon at TestConX 2022. Device under test (DUT) fixtures for ATE systems pose several verification ...

In-circuit test (ICT) is a time-tested and proven method of testing PCBs. During ICT, a bed-of-nails fixture provides test-instrument access to PCB nodes. Each nail is positioned such that, when the ...

Test and programming fixtures are great time-savers for anyone who needs to deal with more than a handful of PCBs. Instead of plugging in connectors (or awkwardly holding probe tips or wires) to ...
