Versi-Traq Test Fixture
Automatiq Measurement Systems manufacturers a line of inexpensive clamshell Bed-of-Nails Test Fixtures and base enclosures for use in custom test systems. The Versi-Traq Test Fixture is ideal for medium to high volume products where speed of loading and long life can justify the extra expense and complexity of the Test Fixture over jumper cables or manual testing. The mechanical clamshell design with spring pin contacts provides a much cheaper option for the limited number of connections of function testing and programming than more complicated vertical load fixtures.
Bed-of-Nails means that test points on the board or assembly are contacted with spring pin contacts called pogo pins. Pogo pins are relatively inexpensive and can provide up to a million test cycles before they need to be replaced. Clamshell fixtures use a hinged top cover with push down pins to push the board down on the pogo pins. The Versi-Traq Test Fixture is inexpensive because of its simple and elegant design. It does not require expensive structural frames, complicated latch mechanisms, or a large size to accomplish its function.
