TEST ELECTRONICS’ TE-10K Test Fixture
High Performance Pneumatic Actuated PC Board Test Fixture

TE-10K PC Board Test Fixture
TE-10K bed of nails style test fixture. Completely self contained. PC style passive back plane with plug in data acquisition boards. Programmable with National Instruments Labview or Labwindows CVI. Can be configured to create a complete full performance cost efficient functional, in-circuit, or bare board tester.

Quick Test Plate Changeover
Test plate changeover is a quick 2 minuit job. Lift the front observation / dust cover, Remove thumbscrews to change the bottom plate and top plate. The old plates lift out and the new plates slide in. Connectors are mounted underneath the bottom plate and lift out along with the plates. We pride ourselves in our efficient designs.

View of the Pneumatic Components
Shown above is a view of the pneumatic components. This unit provides dual level testing. The main cylinders provide the first 18" of travel and compresses the highest set of test pins. The lower short cylinders provide a maximum of 1/2" of travel. This travel is typically adjusted to 0.1" and used to compress the second group of test pins for a more extensive test.

Wiring and Customization
Signal and data pins are wire wrapped from the test pin to an internally mounted connector. This connector is then cabled to an instrument board. This instrument board is typically located in a computer mounted in the lower part of the fixture, or in a rack cabinet near the fixture. Higher speed signals, and noise sensitive signals are wired with twisted pairs or coaxial cable. All wiring is neatly bundled for easy troubleshooting and modification. Cable lengths are kept as short as possible to maintain high performance.

Test Plate Customization
Extreme care is taken in the manufacture of all plates. All plates are precision ground, buffed to a high gloss, center drilled, then finally, drilled to an accuracy of 1/10 of a thousandth with carbide drill bits running at 20,000 RPM under high pressure coolant. Receptacles are then inserted and swaged with a custom built CNC machine providing an extremely high degree of perpendicularity exceeding 1/1000" per linear foot.
