Various techniques—ranging from x-ray and optical inspection through functional electrical test—have emerged to shorten time to market and reduce test costs while maintaining thorough fault coverage.

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 ...

The limited access afforded to circuit nodes by PCBs densely populated with tiny components seriously challenges traditional PCB test strategies. But while optical and x-ray inspection can help fill ...

For testing PCBs, test engineers have a variety of options ranging from venerable in-circuit testers and flying probers to functional testers and the latest in embedded-instrument technology.

The unit is an integrated package of high specification instrumentation controlled by sophisticated but easy to use software. The hardware is installed in a transportable case that also contains a ...

Ever wondered why your Arduino wasn’t programming, only to find out that the cable doesn’t have any data conductors? Worry not, [Spencer Maroukis] has got you covered with the USB Sleuth Cable Tester!

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN – Mycronic’s Global Technologies division has acquired ETZ, a Germany-based manufacturer of test probes used in electrical testing of bare printed circuit boards.

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 ...
