High Quality Test Jigs

What MG Products say about their great test fixture range “We have created a unique mechanical click system using ball bearings and guiding sleeves. The UUT is connected to the spring contact pins that are connected to the testing environment in a completely linear fashion.

Connecting the UUT to probes can be approached both from the top and the bottom and, optionally, even from the side. The ergonomic housing provides generous space for additional measuring electronics. The back and bottom of the housing can be adapted to the various test system interfaces.”

FAQs
Frequently asked questions about our test fixtures
01

What is a test fixture?

A test fixture, or test jig, is a piece of equipment that allows electronics engineers to test the working parts of a printed circuit board and identify any design flaws.
02

Your Test Jig Questions Answered

Early prototype test jigs also highlighted the need to accommodate tall components, so we've incorporated a deep tray to address this need
03

How do test fixtures work?

A test fixture works by testing populated PCBs before they are assembled into products, reducing the loss of time experienced when a faulty board has been fitted without test.
04

Is it really necessary to test each pcb?

As many manufacturers charge by the minute, saving even a couple of minutes per board can reduce costs at the same time as improving test coverage and quality.
05

How much does PCB testing cost?

This will depend entirely on the volume of testing being performed, the complexity of the design, and the size of the PCB. If you have a particular product in mind, contact our engineers at enquiries@ignys.co.uk and we'll be able to give you a deep dive into the costs associated with PCB testing.
06

Do you conduct functional testing?

Absolutely! Functional testing is our electronics design engineers' speciality. We'll test whether a design can be powered and programmed, whether the voltage is correct, and much more.

More Reasons to Test Your Product with Test Fixtures

Printed circuit boards often need some level of testing when they come off the production line. PCBs may also need programming, setup, or calibration. There are ways to achieve this for high volume products, but these tend to be too expensive and too slow in many cases.

For example low volume manufacturers and start ups will struggle to see the benefits. The long lead times mean they can’t react quickly. Also the price makes it difficult to justify for small volumes.

Every Product Counts

When you first launch a product, every single product shipped represents a high proportion of the total when there are relatively low volumes.

Because of this you can’t afford a product failure tarnishing your products’ reputation before it has a chance to gain traction.

This is where test fixture solutions can help.

Electronics design and product development is our specialism. We have many ways to help you through the process.

We also offer a PCB design service.

The Importance of Automated Testing

Are you confident that every product you ship has been properly manufactured, programmed and set up?

Test jigs are the answer if automatic quality control is something you need.

Using production test fixtures for automated testing is ideal – especially because components are getting smaller. And as parts get smaller, the importance of automated testing continues to grow.

Answering Your Questions About PCB Test Points

Our MD, Richard Fletcher, has penned his thoughts on the importance of using test points in your design.

The article covers the following topics:

  1. What are test points?
  2. Should I label them?
  3. Which signals should have test points?
  4. What is the optimum number of test points to use?
  5. Hazards to watch out for – and how to identify them
  6. How have they been used in the past?
  7. Why should I consider using them?
  8. Are test points useful for quality control?
  9. Why failing fast is actually a good thing!
