PCB TEST FIXTURES
Whether you’re testing a single PCB sub assembly or a full panel of PCB modules, RTI’s PCB test fixtures are custom designed and manufactured to address your test challenges and work with your PCB layout.
DESIGNED FOR IN-CIRCUIT, FUNCTIONAL, & ENGINEERING TESTING
Our engineers begin with a GERBER or STEP file of your UUT and work with you to identify test points, keep out areas, and other aspects of your test configuration. Bed-of-Nails-style test fixtures provide precise alignment to the UUT to test points or connectors of choice, even in multi-board stack-ups where the UUT is only one of many components. Clean, streamlined, and robust designs can be made adaptable to accommodate a multitude of standard and custom printed circuit board footprints.
Design PCB Test Fixtures to Your Needs
Our robust and reliable designs come in a variety of sizes and footprints to suit your PCB scale and test application. Fixtures can accommodate standard PCB footprints such as Raspberry Pi and other single-board computers and fully custom PCBs. Most designs offer a bed of nails interface, but other interfaces are available. We specialize in designing and manufacturing custom test fixtures to meet unique test challenges.
We offer PCB design for all signal routing and breakout boards incorporated into the test fixture to provide an out-of-the-box test solution. These boards route all signals between the pogo pins contacting the DUT and your outbound connector(s) of choice. If you require that the test fixture include board(s) of your own design and fabrication, please contact us.

Custom Contact Methods
- Contact test points on the top, bottom, and sides of your UUT
- Custom pin blocks can contact top and bottom of pads on an edge connector
- Heatsinks and air cooling at specific areas on the UUT
- Shielded Coaxial and high-speed cables
- Manual lever and pneumatic pump actuation for ease of use provide consistent and repeatable force

RF Shielded Fixtures
- Keep EMI/RF signals generated by your UUT or other components from disturbing your test setup.
- Alodine plated aluminum panels are electrically conductive and passivated
- Faraday cage design principals applied
- EMI/RF gasketing at seams, shielding or baffles at ports and openings, and other absorbing materials used.

Connector Savers
- Pogo pins contact leads within a connector, removing the need for low lifespan mating connectors on driver boards.
- Beveled edges on the surrounding nest guide the mating connector into alignment with pogo pins.
- Very fine pitch pin arrays available for many high-speed connector types
- Compatible with a variety of docking and blind mate connectors when used in a tray-based solution

Pogo Pin Blocks
Breakout test fixtures typically include a test socket and DUT board that route signals from your DUT to a connector or interface of choice. Transform your dedicated DUT board into a universal motherboard-daughterboard solution with pogo pin blocks that provide a board to board interface.

QUALITY GUARANTEE
Robson Technologies, Inc. interconnects, fixtures and systems are carefully designed, manufactured, inspected, and individually tested prior to shipment. In the unlikely case you find a defect in materials or workmanship, we will promptly repair or replace the component.
