ATE PCB
Boards built specifically for automated test equipment — the fixtures and interface boards that test other electronics, not the end product itself.
Overview
Boards built specifically for automated test equipment — the fixtures and interface boards that test other electronics, not the end product itself.
Why it matters
Test boards have different priorities than product boards: they need to survive repeated mechanical cycling and maintain contact reliability over many test cycles, not just function once.
Typical Applications
- Bare-board and in-circuit test fixtures
- Burn-in and functional test interfaces
- Production test equipment
- Device characterization setups
Manufacturing Considerations
- Durability under repeated mechanical contact matters more than for a typical product board
- Pad and via design needs to account for probe wear over the fixture's service life
- Test board revisions need to track the device-under-test's revisions closely
Technical Characteristics
