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 ...

The component test plate is a drilled and tapped metal plate that attaches to the base of your testing system. The surface is covered in an array of M6 threaded holes that can be used to mount a wide ...

In the first two articles of SI/PI MasterClass, I showed how you can create simple fixtures to characterize small discrete components. In “Solder-wick trick characterizes bypass caps” [1], you can ...

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 ...

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 the modern age, when you hear “component tester” you probably think of one of those cheap microcontroller-based devices that can identify components and provide basic measurements on an LCD screen.

Wireless fixtures for in-circuit testing (ICT) have been available for more than 15 years and have no equal in testing high node-count complex circuit boards. However, there are other hidden ...
