PCB Board Testing

Full ICT / MDA Service

In-Circuit Testing (ICT) involves the use of a bed of nails jig to gain access to various nodes on an assembled Printed Circuit Board so that a variety of tests may be performed on the assembly. Tests include integrity of tracks, measurement of resistance and capacitance along with many other measurements.

After testing is performed and the board is electrically sound, the next stage involves loading firmware into various components thus bringing the assembly to life. Once concluded, the ICT can start to perform live test on many parts of the assembly.

ICT must be designed in

• ICT must be considered at the start of design
• Test points must be accessible by probes
• Consider test points for functional live test
• Test jigs can measure colour & intensity of LEDs
• Many tests are possible on our ICT machine
