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.

Circuit board test, like any step in the PCB assembly process, benefits from lean manufacturing practices that continually improve process steps. If lean manufacturing principles were applied to ...
