Custom testing fixtures that catch every fault.

★★★★★ 4.9 Rated on Google Inc. 5000 honoree · ISO 9001:2015

Functional test fixtures, bed-of-nails ICT, pogo-pin probes, and assembly jigs built to your board and your line. We design and build the tooling that verifies every unit the same way, so defects are caught before they ship, not after.

What we deliver

Fixtures built to test every unit.

Custom jigs and probes that turn a manual check into a repeatable, pass/fail test on your line.

Functional test (FCT)

Powered fixtures that exercise the assembled board and verify real behavior, I/O, comms, sensors, and power rails.

Bed-of-nails / ICT

Pogo-pin nail beds contact every test point for in-circuit test, shorts, opens, values, and net continuity in seconds.

Assembly & alignment jigs

Locating and hold-down jigs that fixture parts consistently for pressing, potting, soldering, and mechanical assembly.

End-of-line validation

Final go/no-go stations with guided operator prompts, barcode traceability, and logged pass/fail results per serial.

How we work

From test plan to line-ready fixture.

Four gates: define the tests, design the fixture, build and wire it, then correlate on real units. Each stage closes with a review you sign off.

01

Test plan & coverage

We map the test points, define the FCT/ICT coverage, and agree on cycle time, throughput, and pass/fail criteria before design begins.

02

Fixture design

CAD design of the tooling plate, probe map, actuation (manual, pneumatic, or clamshell), and wiring harness, reviewed against your DUT.

03

Build & wire

We machine and 3D-print the fixture, drill the pogo-pin field, install probes and interlocks, and integrate the test controller or instruments.

04

Correlation & handoff

We run known-good and known-bad units to correlate results, tune limits, document the SOP, and hand the fixture to your line with training.

Fixture types

Pick the fixture that fits the test.

Each fixture type is built for a job. Here is what a typical build includes.

Fixture typeWhat it includes
Functional test (FCT)Powered test interface, edge/pogo contacts, test controller integration, I/O and comms exercisers, logged results
Bed-of-nails / ICTMachined probe plate, pogo-pin field to every test point, vacuum or mechanical actuation, ICT tester wiring
Pogo-pin probe fixtureSpring-probe cradle, DUT locating features, programming/flash header, hold-down clamp, quick-swap top plate
Assembly jigLocating pins and hard stops, hold-downs, dowel-referenced tooling plate, poka-yoke keying to prevent misload
End-of-line stationGuided operator UI, barcode/serial scan, interlocks, pass/fail lamps, traceability export per unit
FAQ

Common questions about testing fixtures.

Coverage, scope, and what to expect on a Jaycon fixture build.

What is the difference between ICT and functional test fixtures?

ICT (in-circuit test) uses a bed-of-nails to probe individual nets and check shorts, opens, and component values on a bare or assembled board. Functional test (FCT) powers the finished unit and verifies it actually behaves, running I/O, comms, and firmware. Many programs use both: ICT first to catch build defects, FCT to confirm the product works.

Do I need to send you a board or CAD to start?

CAD gets us moving fastest. We work from your board files (Gerbers, ODB++, or STEP), a test-point map, and a test plan. Sending a physical unit or two helps us correlate and validate the fixture before handoff, but design can begin from files alone.

Can the fixture integrate with our test software or instruments?

Yes. We wire fixtures to your existing test controller, PXI/instrument rack, or programming tools, and we can build a guided operator UI with barcode traceability and pass/fail logging. If you do not have a test system yet, we can spec and integrate one.

Do you build fixtures for both electronics and mechanical assembly?

Yes. Beyond electrical test fixtures we build assembly and alignment jigs, locating, hold-down, and poka-yoke tooling for pressing, potting, soldering, and mechanical assembly, so the same partner covers your full line.
