Vacuum-Actuated Kits and Customised Fixtures

Available for the HP / Agilent/ Keysight 307x Test Platforms

ECT + ICT test fixture kits are based on the original APG fixture design and offer unique specifications to meet the challenging printed circuit board needs. ECT + fixtures are very robust and specifically designed for hi-volume usage in manufacturing.They are capable hitting targets as small as 20 mil reliably and repeatedly and provide extremely accurate top-side access probing Many ECT + fixtures will surpass the stringent target measures by having less than 0.005 deviation from the center point. This repeatable strength is APG’s fixture success story. ECT + offers a complete line of 3070 In-circuit fixtures which have the capability of top and bottom probing and functional Slide access. Testjet may also be positioned from the top, bottom or side access. This unique approach allows for a company to simply provide the cad data and a complete design for a fixture and program will be generated and verified on the 3070 system.

From simple to highly complex customization with up to 2500 or more test probes.

Agilent 307X Kit

ECT Kits offers 3070 short-wire units, in a variety of sizes. Each probe plate and top plate are made from G10 materials, and inspected to strict inspection standards. The top surface of each plate is black in color…and has the Agilent 3070 silkscreen image applied.
The top plate surface has ESD properties of 10(6)- 10(9). The ESD property is an ingredient of the upper layer G10 surface.
The alignment between probe plate and top plate is provided by ECT´s unique quarter-turn, quick-release feature. These latch/alignment mechanisms are present at each of the four corners, for optimal alignment.
All units are provided with (2) Alum-A-Lift II series handles, an aluminium frame, and a one-piece personality pin plate.
Standard top plates have a 5.08mm (0,20″) thickness, while units with Zero-Flex top plates (ZF) have a 7.62mm (0.30″) thickness.  MMM, MMXM, MML and MMXL size units have 17,78mm (.60″) thick probe plates.

Top Plate Hardware

Compressing the PCBA evenly against the test probes and making reliable contact to the test pads is critical to maximising test performance. The ECT team will evaluate your PCBA and your manufacturing test environment to determine the best top plate hardware solution for your fixture. Our standard products are designed to fit on our Micro Matrix Kits and minimising the loss of usable area to place your PCBA:
