FAQ

PCB test fixture FAQs

A test point is a dedicated location on a printed circuit board designed for probe contact during electrical testing. Test points give your instrumentation reliable access to specific nets—power rails, data lines, control signals—without probing fragile component leads. Placing test points intentionally during layout is one of the most effective ways to simplify downstream testing. Learn more about test point placement for functional testing.
A bed-of-nails fixture uses an array of spring-loaded pogo pins to contact multiple test points on a circuit board simultaneously. The board is pressed onto the pins (or the pins rise to meet it), connecting your instrumentation to every target net at once. This makes functional testing fast and repeatable—no manual probing, no cable swaps. Learn how FixturFab bed-of-nails fixtures work.
A test fixture (also called a test jig) is a mechanical interface that connects your instrumentation to specific test points on a circuit board. Bed-of-nails fixtures use spring-loaded pogo pins to contact multiple test points simultaneously, making functional testing repeatable without manual probing. They’re used for testing PCBs and PCBAs from prototype through production volumes. Learn more about how bed-of-nails fixtures work.
Dev and Dev Pro fixtures deliver in 2–3 weeks standard, with expedited options down to 1–2 days when timelines are critical. Production fixtures ship in 6–8 weeks standard, reducible to 2–3 weeks with proactive material stocking. Compare that to most traditional vendors at 6–8+ weeks for any fixture type.
Dev fixtures start around $999. Dev Pro fixtures start around $1,799 and scale with board size and test point count. Production fixtures vary based on size and features. Studio gives you real-time pricing—all design and engineering costs are included in the quoted price. No surprise line items, no hidden NRE on standard configurations.
