The importance of properly integrating test points into a PCB design. Test-point deployment considerations. When it comes to creating a modern electronic design, we live in both the best and the worst ...

Micro probes are generally used to check and test small pitch, high-density electronic devices, such as chips, wafers, or ball-grid arrays. Most conventional probes use long, thin cantilever springs ...

One of the most basic tools for tinkering with electronics is a multimeter. Today, even a cheap meter has capabilities that would have been either very expensive or unobtainable back in the 1970s.

The µHELIX® line of durable, fine-pitch probes is designed to test electrical targets with ±15-micron pointing accuracy on 10-mil center-to-center placement. Probe diameter sizes are 20, 16, 12, and 8 ...

Parallel test is used for nearly every device produced by fabs and OSATs, but it can reduce yield and increase the cost of test boards and operations. This is a well-understood tradeoff for ensuring ...
