Flying probe testing (FPT) has long been a reliable method for validating PCB designs, particularly for prototypes and low volume production. Unlike traditional in circuit testing (ICT), which relies ...

Probing to test voltage in electrical connectors on farm equipment can be a challenge. Here are some tricks: A straightened paper clip fits the sockets on many electrical connectors. It’s easier to ...

If a poll was taken to determine what aspect of the hot rod hobby enthusiasts dislike the most, there’s a high likelihood that “diagnosing electrical issues/gremlins” would be the popular answer. An ...

Low-voltage circuit breakers are predominant in virtually every electrical power system. Several years ago, Shermco Industries surveyed NETA-accredited companies for the IEEE Electrical Safety ...

To understand a series circuit, visualize it. You can do that by making a drawing. Just draw a box, to start with. This box represents your circuit. Notice there is only one path: the perimeter of the ...

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 ...

Test is becoming increasingly complicated as new technologies such as flexible electronics begin playing mission-critical roles in applications where electronics have little or no history. Although ...
