How to layout a PC Board to SAVE on testing cost! |
|||
|
Rule #1 |
Make sure all your test pads are on the bottom side of the PCB. |
||
| Rule #2 |
|
All test pads should be at least 30 mils in diameter. | |
| Rule #3 | All test pads should be at least 100 mils center to center ( apart from each other.) | ||
| Rule #4 | All test pads should have at least 5-10 mils of exposed bare board around any test pads ( no solder mask ) | ||
| Rule #5 | For best testing results and longest lasting pins. Use only a blank ( flat no hole ) pad for a testing point. | ||
| Rule #6 | If you use a component pad for testing you probes pins will not last as long. | ||
| Rule #7 | When you don't know the answer ask! | ||
