Actuation Methods for In-Circuit Test Fixtures

Circuit Check, Inc.

Commonly referred to as In-Circuit Test (ICT), loaded board test can be defined as the task of measuring values of components that have been installed on a printed circuit board (PCB). A second basic category of loaded board test measures simple open and shorts on the board to verify manufacturability standards. Circuit Check supports all forms of in-circuit test strategies with its Performance Grade and Value Line test fixtures.

Wireless In-Circuit Test Fixtures

Circuit Check, Inc.

Higher density more complex circuit boards complicate testing requirements while smaller more tightly spaced test pads create a wiring challenge for the fixture fabricators, test engineers and maintenance personnel. Wireless fixtures solve the challenges associated with the nest of wires found in standard long wire fixtures. Wireless fixtures replace the “nest” of wires with copper traces on a multilayered printed circuit board called a Translator Board or T-Board®. Circuit Check’s wireless fixture technologies reduce test program debug and maintenance times while easing the ECO process. Thus allowing for the higher level of test performance, the ability to probe smaller denser targets and achieve ultra-high node counts.

Test Fixture Adapters for In-Circuit Test Fixtures

Circuit Check, Inc.

Circuit Check test fixture adapters are utilized when the target ICT tester is not available or has been replaced with a newer technology tester. The tester adapter will often allow existing test fixtures from one test manufacturer to be utilized on another manufacturer test platform, eliminating the need for replacement fixtures. Contact Circuit Check to discuss your tester and fixture combinations for the best choice of a cost effective solution.

FEA and Strain Gauge Testing

Circuit Check, Inc.

Circuit Check began Strain Gauge Testing in 1999 when BGA/SMT technology started replacing PTH components, reducing strain levels was a reactive post fixture fabrication process. We quickly recognized that the “reactionary” process was neither efficient nor were we capable on knowing the lowest achievable strain levels. Our engineering team came up with visual tools utilized during design to easily identify areas of excessive probe force, though still not enough data was generated to identify the lowest possible strain. Finite Element Analysis software models the PCBA and test fixture and applies the pressures from test probes and board supports and indicates the micro strain level applied to the PCBA. Using the FEA software during our design process allows our engineers to modify fixture designs to attain the lowest possible micro strain before fabrication begins.
