Testing at scale requires fixtures

A PCB test fixture is a mechanical device that holds a circuit board in place while spring-loaded pogo pins make simultaneous contact with test points. Also called test jigs, bed-of-nails fixtures turn manual probing into repeatable, operator-friendly testing that scales from prototypes to production.

Drop board, press button, get results. Configure your fixture online through Studio and get real-time pricing—no sales calls or multi-week quote cycles. Dev and Dev Pro fixtures deliver in 2-3 weeks. You focus on your product. We handle the fixtures.

Which test fixture tier is right for your situation?

Most hardware teams start with Dev Pro. Here's how to decide.

Dev Fixture

Still iterating your board design?

Dev Fixture
Test early without overcommitting. Low investment means fixture uncertainty doesn’t block design decisions.
  • Starting around $999
  • ~1,000 test cycles
  • Clamshell actuation, MDF construction
  • 2-3 week delivery, expedited to 1-2 business days

Dev Pro

Design locked, preparing for production?

Dev Pro Fixture
The right choice for most teams. Professional tier with exchangeable cartridges—CMs accept these as professional equipment. When your test plan changes or you add board variants, you order a new cartridge, not a new fixture.
  • Starting around $1,799
  • ~10,000 test cycles
  • Exchangeable cartridges for board variants
  • Fine-pitch probing, Kelvin sensing for precision resistance measurement
  • 2-3 week delivery, expedited to 1-2 business days

Production Fixture

High-volume manufacturing or in-house production line?

Production Fixture
Built for environments where fixtures run all day, every day. Millions of test cycles. Side probing for connectors, high voltage protection, lid interlocks, RF shielding.
  • Starting around $7,399
  • Side probing for connectors (USB, RJ45, DC Jack)
  • High voltage protection (>60V or >2A)
  • Lid interlocks, RF-shielded options
  • 6-8 weeks standard (reducible to 2-3 with material stocking)

Common questions about PCB test fixtures

Dev fixtures start around $999 for simple boards. Dev Pro fixtures start around $1,799 and scale with board size, test point count, and feature selection. Production fixtures start around $7,399 depending on base size and capabilities. All design and engineering costs are included in the quoted price -- no hidden NRE charges on standard configurations. Studio gives you real-time pricing so you can explore costs before committing.
Dev and Dev Pro fixtures deliver in 2-3 weeks standard, with expedited options down to 1-2 business 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 fixture vendors at 6-8+ weeks for any fixture type -- and that's after the quote cycle itself, which can add days or weeks.
