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 ...

Production test of a finished electronic product often involves two techniques: in-circuit test (ICT) and functional component test (FCT). The ICT technique examines a non-powered circuit board to ...

[Hans Summers] runs a site qrp-labs.com, selling self-assembly kits mostly for radio gear and GPS applications, and had some production problems with his QCX-mini QRP transceiver kit. They were using ...

The ScanWorks platform for embedded instruments from ASSET InterTech is a validation and test platform which supports Intel’s second generation Core processors (formerly codenamed Sandy Bridge).

In vibration-critical applications, understanding how a PCB deforms under excitation is essential. Using massively parallel ...

When asked, many engineers will say that the goal of a test plan for a PCB is full or 100% test coverage. When pressed further, they usually admit that 100% test coverage is virtually impossible to ...

As electronic products move from prototyping to mass production, manufacturers must rely on efficient, scalable, and ...

In a move that could shape the future of campus environmental safety, a group of NC State students is pushing for expanded PCB testing across university buildings. On Wednesday night, the North ...
