ICT testing after assembly

Expert Panel Responses

For In-Circuit Test (ICT), an OSP finish on conventional test pads is a source of connectivity problems where test probes sometimes have trouble getting good contact. To avoid this, one consideration would be utilizing Bead Probe Technology as an alternative. More details on how bead probes can be of benefit can be found on our website.
