3070 Series 3 ICT
The Keysight / Agilent 3070 Series 3 ICT is an in-circuit tester for electronic boards. The 3070 Series 3 operates with required pressure of 6-7 bar. The 3070 Series 3 uses measurement cards arranged in two banks with 23 card numbers per bank.[1]
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn in-circuit tester (ICT) is a type of automatic test equipment (ATE) used to verify the correct assembly and soldering of printed circuit boards (PCBs) by making electrical contact with individual nodes via a bed-of-nails fixture. The Keysight 3070 Series 3 ICT is a model of such a tester, manufactured by Keysight Technologies (formerly Agilent Technologies).
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn in-circuit tester operates by pressing a bed-of-nails fixture against the bottom of a populated PCB, spring-loaded pins contacting each test node on the board. The ICT then applies stimuli (from programmable power supplies and signal generators) and measures responses to identify component placement errors, solder defects, opens, shorts, and mis-valued parts. Measurements are typically analog (voltage, current, resistance) and are compared against a golden-board reference.
