ICT test probes are specialized tools used for testing printed circuit boards, suitable for various tip styles and contact pressures. They feature units with adjustable travel and can be configured for different connection types, allowing for efficient defect detection and measurement of components during testing. This adaptability makes them essential for ensuring circuits are manufactured correctly.

1. What is an ICT Test Probes?
The ICT test probes are the test probe for centers from 50 mil to 100 mil with a vast collection of
different tip styles and contact pressures for almost all test requirements. For the 2-level
adaptation, test probe units with a longer test probe travel are available. Receptacles with a press
ring can be supplied for this series of combination. The press ring also allows variable heights if
the press ring is pressed into a defined setting in the take-up drill hole. This press ring can be
used as a stop to achieve a constant extension height in the adapter. The ICT receptacles are
available for various types of connections. In addition to these standards, PTR also offers metric
types for the ICT/FT. In this case, the receptacles are normally pressed into the take-up drill hole
as far as the stop. Here, too, test probe barrels with different collar heights allow variable
extension heights in the adapter.
To interface the main tester with the particular board under test the requirement of ICT test
probe occurs. It will have a main connector that interfaces to the tester and wires that are taken
from the connector to individual pins / probes that make contact with the required nodes on the
board under test. The probes are placed in a base board. There are various series of ICT test
probe depending on the tip size, mechanical features, electrical features, materials used and the
diameter of drill. The tip size is different in form of diameter and plating. All components on the
PCB are measured during ICT.
It is possible to undertake a very comprehensive form of printed circuit board test by using the ICT test probe,
by determining that the circuit has been manufactured correctly. It provides a useful and efficient form of
printed circuit board test by measuring each component. It can easily detect the manufacturing
defects and its program generation is easy.
