Why are test points a crucial element in developing a successful circuit? Types of test points available, and the different techniques that employ them. Electronic design has always been an endeavor ...

Providing fast identification and polarization, the RoHS-compliant color-coded PCB-mountable TP-104, -105, and -106 test point series are available in 10 colors and feature 0.125” or 0.1” centers and ...

The surface-mounted TP-107 and TP-108 Series of PCB test points are available with a 0.0001-in. minimum silver-over-0.00005-in. copper plate. The test points are formed using a proprietary flat-wire ...

Designing circuit boards for high speed applications requires special considerations. This you already know, but what exactly do you need to do differently from common board layout? Building on where ...

Stutensee, GermanyHans Baka started to work for Digitaltest in Stutensee in 1994 as marketing and sales manager and became managing director in 1997. Before joining Digitaltest, he held ...

Design for manufacturing (DFM) has become a proactive part of the design process, but the same cannot be said for DFT. Whereas “left-shifting” DFM has reduced manufacturing problems, increased yield, ...

Siemens has announced the acquisition of ASTER Technologies, a provider of printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) test verification and engineering software. ASTER Technologies acquired by Siemens ...

Integration enables companies to prepare designs and implement robust test strategies early in the PCB assembly manufacturing process, enabling earlier defect detection, reduced costs, accelerated ...

Out of curiosity, I redrew the Supercon Vectorscope badge schematics in KiCad last year. As you might suspect, going from PCB to schematic is opposite to the normal design flow of KiCad and most other ...

PCBs must survive impact, flexing and thermal cycles so how can mechanical testing be used to test for vulnerabilities?

Siemens today announced it has acquired ASTER Technologies (“ASTER”), a privately held market leader in printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) test verification and engineering software. This strategic ...
