Sensors
Ensure the operational accuracy of your sensors with Forwessun’s ICT sensor testing, providing precise in-line quality checks on your PCBs.
Sensor Testing In-Circuit Test Fixtures
Testing sensors on printed circuit boards (PCBs) during In-Circuit Testing (ICT) is a crucial step in electronics manufacturing. It ensures each sensor is correctly installed, fully operational, and ready for use before the product leaves the production line.
Why Sensor Testing Matters in ICT
Sensors are critical components in modern devices, from automotive systems to consumer electronics. ICT sensor testing allows manufacturers to identify faults early, improving reliability, reducing costs, and maintaining high-quality standards.
How ICT Fixtures Test Sensors
Forwessun’s ICT fixtures connect directly to the sensor’s input and output pins, creating a controlled test environment. Depending on the sensor type, specific stimuli are applied:
- Hall sensors are triggered using magnets.
- Accelerometers use built-in self-test functions.
- Other sensors (such as pressure or temperature) rely on calibrated signals.
This process replicates real-world operating conditions, ensuring the sensor performs as expected. Once stimulated, the test system measures the sensor’s response, such as voltage changes in a Hall sensor or axis data from an accelerometer. These outputs are compared against pre-set values in the test programme. Sensors that pass are cleared for production, while those outside tolerance are flagged for review.
