Dual-stage compression and side-access interconnect solutions engineered to separate complex test routines, catching defects early while reducing cycle times and manufacturing costs.
Multi-Stage test fixtures provide advanced, automated solutions that combine multiple critical testing routines into a single, unified test cycle. In modern electronics manufacturing, printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) often require several distinct stages of evaluation—including In-Circuit Testing (ICT), Functional Testing (FCT), flash programming, and boundary scan routines. Multi-stage fixtures consolidate these disparate operations into one streamlined system, eliminating the need to physically move and reclamp the Device Under Test (DUT) across separate testing stations on the production floor.
By utilizing dual-stage compression mechanisms and specialized side-access interconnect solutions, multi-stage fixtures separate complex test procedures into discrete, sequential steps within the same fixture frame. The primary stroke may execute low-level component validation and power safety checks, while a secondary mechanical or pneumatic stroke engages deeper functional probes, programming headers, or side connectors. This multi-tiered approach allows manufacturers to catch structural or electrical defects early in the cycle before executing high-level functional or firmware routines, significantly reducing cycle times, labor requirements, and overall manufacturing costs.
Mechanical Execution & Multi-Tiered Probing
Merges In-Circuit Testing (ICT), Functional Testing (FCT), In-System Programming (ISP/Flash), and boundary scan routines within a single test fixture environment.
Features multi-level stroke actuation that allows different probe sets to engage the target board at precise, controlled depths based on the active test phase.
Separates low-level structural testing from high-level functional execution to prevent powering up defective boards and protect sensitive test instruments.
Operational Benefits & Efficiency
Consolidates multiple independent testing setups into one continuous automated sequence, drastically decreasing overall line takt time.
Identifies manufacturing faults, short circuits, and component errors in early test stages before initiating lengthier functional or programming sequences.
Eliminates repeated manual transfers between distinct test stations, reducing physical wear, ESD risks, and operator labor costs.
