ABSTRACT:
A semi-generic test fixture for testing printed circuit boards (PCBs) and/or for testing printed circuit boards assemblies (PCBAs) is presented. The semi-generic test fixture implements a combination of generic and customized parts for tester-to-fixture interface instead of a static dedicated in-circuit test (ICT) fixture which is able to interconnect only one kind of unit under test (UUT) to an ICT tester test-head. The semi-generic ICT fixture (SGICTF) is able to interconnect an ICT test-head with a variety of UUT types with a minimum of adaptation. Accordingly, the SGICTF generally comprises two generic PCB connected to the tester and two customized PCB connected to the generic PCB and adapted to interface the particular UUT via testing probes.
