FCT (Functional Test) Fixture: Comprehensive Functional Testing Solutions for PCBA

1. FCT Fixture Solutions 

We provide a wide range of fixture configurations to meet the specific requirements of different production lines:

• Clamshell FCT Fixture: Features a hinged, clamshell-style cover for quick operation and enhanced operator safety.

• Pneumatic FCT Fixture: Uses pneumatic cylinders to automatically press the PCB against the test pin array, making it ideal for high-speed automated production lines.

• Integrated FCT Testing Systems: Combine mechanical fixtures with measurement instruments such as digital multimeters (DMMs) and oscilloscopes, DC power supplies, and control software (LabVIEW, C#, or Python) to fully automate the testing process and data logging.

2. Key Advantages of Careerviet FCT Fixtures

• Superior Signal Noise Immunity: We carefully design signal routing, coaxial cabling, and fixture material selection (anti-static acrylic, Bakelite, and aluminum plates) to minimize high-frequency interference and ensure accurate frequency and voltage measurements.

• Reliable PCB Protection: CNC-machined guide pins and positioning mechanisms ensure precise alignment and evenly distributed clamping force, preventing PCB cracks and component scratches or damage.

• Smart Peripheral Integration: We can incorporate additional mechanisms, such as auxiliary cylinders for connector insertion, photoelectric sensors for LED testing, and lever mechanisms to simulate button presses on the PCB.

• Flexible Design and Easy Maintenance: Our modular fixture architecture allows customers to easily replace test pins or change fixture plates when upgrading to a new PCB revision.

ICT Fixture: Precise and Automated PCBA Testing Solutions

In the electronic component manufacturing and assembly process, an ICT (In-Circuit Test) Fixture is an essential testing tool. It enables rapid detection of assembly defects on printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), including short circuits, open circuits, incorrect component values (resistors, capacitors, and inductors), and incorrectly oriented ICs before products are released for shipment.

At Careerviet, we specialize in the design, precision machining, and manufacturing of high-quality ICT fixtures that meet the stringent requirements of major electronics manufacturing facilities.

1. Types of ICT Fixtures 

To accommodate different production scales and testing systems, Careerviet provides the following solutions:

• Vacuum ICT Fixture: Uses vacuum pressure to press the PCB against the test pin array, ensuring reliable electrical contact. Offers high precision and is ideal for densely populated circuit boards.

• Pneumatic / Mechanical ICT Fixture: Uses pneumatic cylinders or manual lever mechanisms to apply pressure to the PCB. Offers high durability, cost-effectiveness, and easy maintenance.

• Dual-Stage ICT Fixture (Two-Stage Fixture): Integrates both in-circuit testing (ICT) and functional testing (FCT) into a single fixture, helping reduce testing time and save production floor space.

2. Key Advantages of Careerviet ICT Fixtures

• High-Precision CNC Machining: We use advanced CNC machines in our workshop to mill fixture plates made from Bakelite, anti-static acrylic (Mica), and G10/FR4 materials. Precisely positioned test-pin holes ensure accurate alignment while preventing PCB warping and surface scratches.

• Premium-Quality Test Pins: Our test probes and probe sockets are sourced from reputable brands such as Ingun and QA, offering a service life of up to hundreds of thousands of test cycles and reliable, stable electrical contact.

• Optimized Design Using Specialized Software: Our experienced engineering team analyzes CAD and Gerber files to optimize test probe placement, avoid sensitive areas on the PCB, and minimize the risk of false-pass results.

• Responsive Technical Support: We are committed to on-time delivery and provide on-site fixture adjustment, maintenance, and periodic test-pin replacement at our customers’ factories.
