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 ...

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 ...

A next-generation board-test system combines structural, parametric, high-speed interconnect, and functional testing to ...

Test engineers have a variety of options for testing printed-circuit boards—ranging from in-circuit testers to the latest in embedded-instrument technology. Despite the decline of PCB physical access ...

Integration enables companies to prepare designs and implement robust test strategies early in the PCB assembly manufacturing process, enabling earlier defect detection, reduced costs, accelerated ...

PCBs must survive impact, flexing and thermal cycles so how can mechanical testing be used to test for vulnerabilities?

Designing circuit boards for high speed applications requires special considerations. This you already know, but what exactly do you need to do differently from common board layout? Building on where ...
