In the last episode, we put our circuit boards through the reflow process. Unfortunately, it’s not 100% accurate, and there are often problems that can occur that need to be detected and fixed. That’s ...

Today’s high power semiconductor test applications are increasingly demanding, requiring test instrumentation capable of characterizing higher rated voltages and peak currents than ever before. Many ...

Loaded board testing pays for itself by reducing field returns and bone-pile scrap. You seldom read an article about PCBs or semiconductors without encountering test-related phrases and acronyms. Cost ...

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 ...

In preparation for testing, typically the upper portion of the test fixture is connected to a load cell in the crosshead of the testing machine, and the lower portion of the fixture is connected to ...

Wireless fixtures for in-circuit testing (ICT) have been available for more than 15 years and have no equal in testing high node-count complex circuit boards. However, there are other hidden ...
