The test takes less than 120 sec., so the handler must quickly heat the PCB. The PCB goes through four preheat stops while IR sensors monitor temperature rise.

The “PCOLA” segment of the test evaluates the structural devices of a populated PCB using visual testing methods. This portion of the test looks at presence, correctness, orientation, live ...

Agilent provides a line of products for board test, including the TS-8900 Automotive Functional Test System as well as the Medalist i3070 Series 5 Medalist i1000D In-Circuit Test Systems (Figure 1).

Given that a signal travels 6 inches in 1ns on a standard FR4 PCB, the signal will get through the corner in 30ps. (Which is why I have to use equipment with a 17.5ps rise time to examine it) ...

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 ...

Adoption of PCB Stator innovation offers numerous design, production, and bottom-line benefits to electric motor OEMs—and any company that uses electric motors. Here’s a snapshot of those ...

The resulting functional test jig, (video, embedded below) takes a fairly interesting approach. Skip the video to 9:00 for the description of the test jig and detailed test descriptions.

NC State has released the first report of PCB test results from Geosyntec Consultants, the consulting firm doing the environmental assessment of Poe Hall.
