Category: Testing
Description: InCircuit Test (ICT) is a process for testing PCBAs using probes to identify faults such as shorts or opens, or incorrect values in resistance, capacitance, etc.
Process is optional and is turned OFF by default.
Major Cost Drivers -- PCBA InCircuit Test
InCircuit Test Cycle Time is the product of the component quantities and the time the machine takes to test those components.
Process Time = Load Time + Test Time + Unload Time
- Load Time = (Machine variable)
- Test Time = Quantity of components/Test Rate
- Test Rate = (Machine variable)
- Unload Time = (Machine variable)
- Test Time = Quantity of components/Test Rate
