PCB manufacturers needing to flash/HIPOT test (2kV) unpopulated boards, could look at an electrical safety test system from Clare Instruments. The system uses the company’s HAL H101 instrument ...

In-circuit test can exercise components individually. Boundary-scan test can evaluate components as well as interconnects. Functional test can test for faults that may have escaped other stages while ...

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 ...

Conducting product testing on printed circuit boards (PCBs) has the potential to become costly. Because of this, it’s easy for businesses to view PCB assembly testing as an expense without much value.

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 ...

Electronica 2006 exhibitors Aeroflex, Digitaltest, Seica, and Teradyne demonstrated new PCB electrical-test functionality, while Viscom touted recently introduced PCB inspection capabilities. Aeroflex ...

Printed circuit board testing has been around as long as printed circuit boards, also known as printed circuit assemblies and printed wiring boards. PCB technology started in the early 20th century ...
