Circuit Board Testing

Altek Electronics has been providing circuit board test for our customers in the Northeast and elsewhere for over 35 years, and has a fully staffed test department.  Our technicians have decades of circuit board test and troubleshooting experience including both in-circuit test and functional test. 

In-circuit tests are performed on our Teradyne Test Station LH using bed-of-nails fixtures.  This type of circuit testing is very effective in confirming accurate printed board manufacture by looking for:

• Soldering defects
• Proper component placement
• Correct component values

Functional tests are performed on in-house test fixtures or customer-supplied test stations and verify that the circuit board meets the customer’s specifications and will work in the final system.

Some of the functional tests that we perform include:

• Board level
• Sub-assembly level
• System level
• Cables and Harness 

Altek Electronics uses circuit board testing to confirm product quality and as a means of promoting continuous improvement in our processes. 

We have a full complement of functional test and diagnostic equipment that allows troubleshooting to the component level. 

Altek Electronics also provides in-house programming of a large selection of non-volatile memory and programmable logic devices.

We have a Data I/O 3980xpi and a BPM Microsystems 1610 programmer on site with the capability to support thousands of different devices and numerous package styles.

Altek also has several serial programming interfaces that provide In-circuit Serial Programming (ISP) for many IC manufacturers’ devices such as Altera, Atmel, Lattice, Microchip, Xilinx and more.
