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 ...

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 ...

Folks from [Adafruit] are showing off a neat hack – USB host on RP2040, using the now-famous PIO peripheral. [Adafruit] builds a lot of RP2040 boards, and naturally, you gotta test them before you ...

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 ...

The systems have increased test throughput by up to 75% over the original testers. Also, result reporting is easier thanks to a compact database that stores all test data. Lifeline Systems provides ...

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 ...

[Elliot] (no relation, but hey, cool name!) wrote in with his OpenFixture model for OpenSCAD. It’s awesome because it takes a small problem, that nonetheless could consume an entire day, and solves it ...
