ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for testing of circuitry located on a printed circuit board without placing test point pads on the surface of the printed circuit boards as is currently done. Test point pads which are constructed of a conductive material are placed on the edge of a manufacturing panel holding the printed circuit boards in place during the manufacturing and testing process. The pressure point pads, when located on the edge of a manufacturing panel, do not face design pressures to reduce their size and number in an effort to preserve space as do pressure point pads which are located on the surface of printed circuit boards. The larger pressure point pads of the current invention are electrically connected to the test circuitry on the printed circuit board via router tabs. These router tabs are constructed of printed circuit board material and hold the printed circuit board attached to the manufacturing panel during the manufacturing and testing process.
