Ignys has introduced RapidJig, a free, browser-based tool designed to simplify the creation of PCB test fixtures.

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 ...

Fontana, CA. ECT announced it is leveraging its experience in probe and receptacle design and manufacture to provide cost-effective and reliable customer-focused solutions for challenging in-circuit ...

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 ...

Why are test points a crucial element in developing a successful circuit? Types of test points available, and the different techniques that employ them. Electronic design has always been an endeavor ...

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 ...

When a smartphone slides off a table or a module in a car dashboard takes a hit from a pothole, the printed circuit board (PCB) is also impacted. Drop, bend and thermal tests show how assemblies ...

We’ve said it before: building one-offs is different from building at scale. Even on a small scale. There was a time when it was rare for a hobbyist to produce more than one of anything, but these ...
