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
