Change in life is inevitable. You know this, yet sometimes you just choose not to accept it. You just close your eyes and think the world has also stopped. But even you realize that’s not the case. It ...

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 ...

The IEEE is working to define a uniform method for characterizing electrical circuit probe performance. The proposed standard, IEEE P1696, “Standard for Terminology and Test Methods for Circuit Probes ...

Horizon Sales, a leading manufacturers’ representative and distributor to the electronics industry, is proud to announce that it is now representing Takaya Flying Probe Test Systems, a global leader ...

Fairview Microwave’s semi-rigid test probes operate up to 6 GHz and offer a choice of three coax diameters and three different lengths to fit a variety of trace widths and applications. The probes ...

For testing PCBs, test engineers have a variety of options ranging from venerable in-circuit testers and flying probers to functional testers and the latest in embedded-instrument technology.

One of the most basic tools for tinkering with electronics is a multimeter. Today, even a cheap meter has capabilities that would have been either very expensive or unobtainable back in the 1970s.

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 ...

Update, Saturday July 4th, 2009: All preorders are closed. A probe cable makes it easy to connect the Bus Pirate to a circuit and get hacking. Good test clips make quick connections on cramped PCBs ...
