With the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoTs), smart devices, and electric vehicles, the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) used is more sophisticated and packed with smaller components that are critical to the functionality of the device. However, the testing of these small boards is still dependent on test systems that were built for simple board- under-test from 20 years ago. This may mean sacrificing test coverage in the hope that end-of-line functional testing will be able to catch these critical failures. 

This webinar covers the importance of testing smaller PCBAs with features and technologies similar to test systems used on bigger PCBAs in order to lower the cost of test.
