Final Test Telecommunications Test Fixture

Custom Final Test Fixture for Telecommunications Devices

Robson Technologies Inc (RTI) offers fully integrated, benchtop footprint, final-test fixtures solutions for the networking and telecommunications industries. This telecommunications test fixture feature top and bottom test interfaces including high power spring pin connector savers. These fixtures are designed to test functional sub-assemblies with a variety of board-to-board bed of nails connections at both power supply and specific I/O test points. They include SATA cable to connect SSD hard drives and header connector. They also allow for hardware sub-assemblies and driver boards in the bottom compartment. These fixtures incorporate a custom 208V switch box, dual power receptacles with sensors

Design Requirements:

Accommodate a host board to act as the “driver” board to mate with the DUT after the lid is closed and latched. A “lock-out switch” to prevent testing if the cam lid is not engaged. Access to the RJ45 and fiber 10G connectors on the networking board via the front of the fixture.

Design Features:

Fine alignment of high power probes acting as power supply contacts between host and DUT boards
Pin-based interface contacts a mating connector on the DUT board
Floating base tray aligns the DUT to the host board and connectors before the lid is closed and locked
208V power distribution box that prevents power from being supplied unless the lid is closed and locked
High-speed fans and incorporated bezels to maximize airflow for thermal management
