Flexible Test Coverage Without Fixture Investment
ICTC’s Flying Probe services are ideal for prototypes, NPI builds, low- to medium-volume production, and designs that change frequently. By generating test programs from customer CAD data and BOMs, we help teams get meaningful electrical test coverage quickly while avoiding the cost, lead time, and commitment of dedicated ICT fixtures.
Flying Probe Testing
Flying probe testing is a fixtureless electrical test method that uses movable probes to contact pads, vias, and component leads on your PCB instead of a dedicated bed-of-nails fixture. Under software control, the system exercises the board and measures continuity, component values, and selected power-on conditions at many points across the assembly. This provides high-value test coverage on prototypes and low- to medium-volume builds without the cost and lead time of traditional in-circuit test (ICT) fixtures.
Actionable Results for Production and Troubleshooting
Our service provides clear test scope, pass/fail results, failure details where applicable, and accessibility or coverage feedback to help customers understand both findings and test limitations. ICTC can also support DFT review, bone-pile troubleshooting, field-return analysis, and recommendations to improve testability on future board revisions.
