FEINMETALL offers a wide range of finest contact probes, up to the limits - and beyond.
While ICT (in-circuit test) contact probes are used to test components, FCT (functional test) contact probes can be used to test entire assemblies.
Total length (min / max)
11.4-48.5mm
Minimum pitch
0.6 mm
Maximum travel
10.0 mm
ICT Contact Probes
During in-circuit testing (ICT), each component of an electronic assembly is checked for faults. Short circuits, interruptions, soldering or component faults are detected and assemblies are rejected according to a go/no-go test.
FCT Contact Probes
During functional testing (FCT), the assemblies are tested completely or in partial areas for the intended operation. The function test of the modules is carried out in the end application or in an environment that simulates the end application.
Advantages, you benefit from
Increased first pass yield (FPY)
Longer life cycle
Low contact resistance
Constant (low) contact resistance over life time
Reduced maintenance time and costs
Easy mounting and replacement with suitable tools
Applications of ICT / FCT Contact Probes
Assembled and Bare Printed Circuit Boards
Test equipment for assembled standard PCBs, multilayer and other special PCBs as well as unassembled PCBs (bare board).
Standard Contacting of Pins, Pads and Vias
Test equipment for all types of devices under test (DUT) such as component pins, solder pads, vias and others.
Single and Dual Stage Contacting
Range of different lengths of test equipment for single and dual stage contacting as well as for compensating other height differences.
FEINMETALL offers a huge variety of ICT / FCT series and versions
Depending on the test item, the application and the operation conditions, Feinmetall provides the optimal solution
