Hipot Testing a PCB Four-Up



4 panel Circuit board

Challenge

Customer was required to add hipot testing to existing continuity test on printed circuit boards which were built 4-up on a panel. They wanted to avoid the cost of a new fixture by utilizing an existing pogo-pin test interface. The test needed to determine which of the four pcbs failed in the event of a failure.

Solution

A custom script called a 'one_up_test' was created that tested all four quadrants as though they were one board. If all four quadrants were good the main test passed. If the main test failed, the script called individual programs specific to each quadrant to determine which part was bad. Digital I/O was utilized to mark the bad part.

Results

The customer was able to successfully add hipot testing to their existing test process without incurring the cost of new tooling and with minimal additional test time.
