The importance of properly integrating test points into a PCB design. Test-point deployment considerations. When it comes to creating a modern electronic design, we live in both the best and the worst ...

Modern printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) are designed to support increasingly complex applications in industries such as telecommunications, automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial ...

Omron showcased advanced testing tools for compact electronics, featuring blade pins, relays, and more at DesignCon 2026.

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

Production test of a finished electronic product often involves two techniques: in-circuit test (ICT) and functional component test (FCT). The ICT technique examines a non-powered circuit board to ...

JTAG has its place but it is not by any means the total solution. Boundary scan, as standardized by IEEE 1149.1 and commonly referred to as JTAG, has truly revolutionized the testability of circuit ...

Through-hole assembly means bending leads on components and putting the leads through holes in the circuit board, then soldering them in place, and trimming the wires. That took up too much space and ...
