Fixtureless tester and soldering pre-heater star at Electronica 2014

The Eurocircuits booth at Electronica in Munich last week was crowded from start to finish with PCB designers and engineers checking out the latest Eurocircuits prototype PCB services and hardware. Hardware “stars” were eC-test-mate – award-winning fixtureless test equipment for assembled PCBs eC-pre-heater for easier hand-soldering and de-soldering - details below. We have a special Electronica offer on all Eurocircuits hardware below. Service and software “stars” were new options in PCB pooling PCB PIXture - more information in next week’s Eurocircuits Technical Update. eC-test-mate – “NO TEST” is no longer an option for populated prototype PCBs eC-test-mate provides a cost-effective solution for testing prototype and small-batch populated PCBs without losing the time and money needed to prepare test-fixtures. It comprises a docking station and 3 ergonomic test-heads. Each test-head has 21 test-pins and integrated hardware for a specific range of tests. Combined they offer comprehensive functional testing for small-batch assembled PCBs. eC-test-mate is straightforward to use. 1. Incorporate the test-head footprints into your design (or on a snap-off coupon if space is tight) 2. Write your test program using eC-my-test software. Clear commands and structured menus make programming and debugging simple. 3. Plug the test head into your PCB and run the test. 4. Add the optional Starter Kit to start you testing even faster. “Untested” is not an option
