What methods can be applied to verify PCB functionality and safety? Which are suitable for mass production and for prototypes? What parameters are checked in each test? How to check a PCB without ...

Flying probe testing (FPT) has long been a reliable method for validating PCB designs, particularly for prototypes and low volume production. Unlike traditional in circuit testing (ICT), which relies ...

The unit is an integrated package of high specification instrumentation controlled by sophisticated but easy to use software. The hardware is installed in a transportable case that also contains a ...

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 ...

PCB designers usually treat metrology as a manufacturing or quality problem that starts after release. That view is now becoming outdated given that more designs deal with fine features and package ...

Horizon Sales, a leading manufacturers’ representative and distributor to the electronics industry, is proud to announce that it is now representing Takaya Flying Probe Test Systems, a global leader ...

Milpitas, Calif.–Linear Technology introduced the LTC2920, a power-supply margining controller that allows supply rails to be precisely adjusted up and down during automated PCB testing. This testing, ...

In-circuit test (ICT) systems have been the leaders in using electrical means to look for structural defects in PCBs. They employ bed-of-nails fixtures to provide electrical access to as many as 7000 ...

[Doug Jackson] makes word clocks, and he must be doing quite a bit of business. We say that because he put together a programming and test bed for the clock circuit boards. This is a great example to ...
