Positran Manufacturing, Inc. offers you numerous options to confirm that your PCB assembly functions as intended. They include the following:

• Functional Testing (FCT) : Functional testing is performed in the last phase of the production process to serve as the final quality control procedure. It ensures that the unit under test (UUT) operates as intended. Because of the flexibility of this type of test, it can be employed as a substitute for more costly testing methods. Complete functional testing is increasingly being used with low to moderate batch manufacturing to guarantee every board coming off the production line is operational. We can assist you with the design an manufacturing of the functional test fixture which is specific to your PCBA.
• In-circuit Testing (ICT): In-circuit testing is more common for large PCBA batches and the most robust. The typical fault coverage is upwards of 92%. During ICT, a custom designed fixture consists of electrical probes on a bed of nails format sends currents through specific locations on the board at designated test points. These tests can check for open circuits and shorts, missing components, solder defects and functionality of the components. We have several in-circuit test machines available.
