Types of PCB Testing Services We Offer

In-Circuit Testing (ICT)

In-circuit testing uses a precision-machined bed of nails fixture with spring-loaded pins to access individual test pads and component leads on assembled PCBs.

The ICT system applies low-level stimulus signals and measures node voltages and currents to detect open circuits, shorts, incorrect values, and orientation errors.

OurPCB supports PCB assembly testing services using fixture-based ICT for Class II and Class III boards, with up to 2048 simultaneous test points and fault coverage over 90% for analog-digital hybrid assemblies.

Functional Testing (FCT)

PCB functional testing services apply full operating voltage and simulate real-world I/O, clock, and data protocols to verify complete circuit behavior.

Custom test fixtures interface with edge connectors, USB, CAN, I2C, SPI, or other device-specific ports to validate logic sequences, firmware response, and embedded software execution.

Our stations include programmable DC power supplies (0 to 30 V, 0.1% precision), signal generators, and relay control boards capable of cycling hundreds of channels.

Flying Probe Testing

Flying probe testing uses 4 to 8 independent needles mounted on multi-axis robotic arms to contact pads, vias, and test points on PCBs without requiring a fixture.

Each probe has a positional accuracy of ±5 µm, and contacts are sequenced dynamically based on a CAD-derived test script.

The system can measure resistance, detect opens/shorts, verify component orientation (via diode/LED polarity), and validate net isolation up to 500 V.

Our flying probe systems support double-sided access and adaptive Z-axis compensation, making them ideal for prototypes, small batches, and low-volume Class III assemblies with BGA or fine-pitch components.

Boundary Scan

Boundary scan testing uses JTAG-compliant integrated circuits with built-in test registers to shift test data across pins without physical probing.

OurPCB configures boundary scan chains to test for missing pull-ups, bus contention, stuck-at faults, and inter-device connectivity.

This technique is essential for PCB assembly testing services involving BGAs, QFNs, and CSPs, where solder joints are optically and mechanically inaccessible.

Using tools like XJTAG or Corelis, our engineers run structural tests and functional vector scripts that monitor internal register responses, enabling deep digital path validation on complex, high-speed designs.

AOI & AXI

Automated optical inspection (AOI) scans every board using high-resolution cameras (up to 25 µm/pixel) to detect missing parts, incorrect polarity, lifted leads, tombstoning, and solder bridging.

Our inline AOI systems support 3D height profiling and compare actual assemblies against a golden reference using rule-based or neural-net criteria.

For dense, multilayer boards, X-ray inspection (AXI) uses 5 µm focal spot tubes to capture internal layers and verify hidden joint integrity under BGAs, LGAs, and stacked packages.

Both AOI and AXI are performed as part of OurPCB’s integrated PCB testing and inspection services, supporting IPC-A-610 Class III conformance and continuous yield monitoring.

High Voltage & Insulation Testing

High-potential and insulation resistance testing are performed using programmable dielectric testers capable of applying voltages from 100 V to 1500 VDC across isolated nets.

We verify insulation resistance up to 1000 MΩ and dielectric breakdown levels across creepage gaps, especially in high-voltage power PCBs or where double-insulated barriers are required.

This PCB testing service is essential for validating the safety of industrial control boards, battery management systems, and EV power converters.

OurPCB configures custom test setups with adjustable ramp rates, dwell time, and arc detection to meet IEC 61010 and UL standards for Class II/III applications.

Why does PCB Testing Matter in Assembly?

Factory-Ready for Ultra-Fine Assembly

Our dual 10,000 m² PCB assembly houses in Shenzhen and Shijiazhuang are equipped with high-speed SMT assembly lines capable of placing fine-pitch parts with ±25 µm tolerance.

Each line includes temperature- and humidity-controlled environments, active anti-static systems, and vacuum transport for handling thin or flex printed circuits.

Certified for High-Reliability Fine-Pitch Workflows

We are fully certified to ISO 9001, IATF 16949, and IPC-A-610 Class 2 & 3, supporting applications where fine-pitch PCB assembly must meet elevated acceptance criteria for solder joint geometry, lead coplanarity, and component body clearance.

Our QA workflows are built to handle fine-pitch PCBs requiring zero solder bridging and uniform joint fillets across dense arrays.

Inspection Systems for High Pin Count Devices

All assemblies involving ball pitch under 0.5 mm, QFN, or PoP packages undergo X-ray inspection, SPI, and AOI with 15 µm resolution optics.

We detect voids, open leads, insufficient solder, lifted terminations, and hidden shorts. This inspection process is a requirement for successful assembly when working with components that provide no visible solder access.

Engineering Review for Pitch-Specific Risks

Every fine-pitch electronic assembly receives a DFM and DFA review focused on stencil coverage, aperture tuning, pcb design limitations, and routing near fine-pitch ICs.

We assist in verifying pad design, thermal pad exposure, and via escape planning, important for high I/O packages like BGA and chip scale layouts where misalignment or solder blockage can compromise yield.

Turnkey Component Sourcing and Lot Control

We offer full assembly component sourcing through partners like Digi-Key, Mouser, and WPG, including traceable lots for hard-to-find or moisture-sensitive electronic components.

Components are stored under MSL-compliant conditions, with drying cabinets and vacuum packaging for all incoming fine-pitch parts.

Broad PCB Stack-Up and Layer Support

OurPCB fabricates EV charger (electric vehicle charger) PCBs from 2 to 32 layers, including rigid, flex, and rigid-flex stack-ups. Standard builds use FR4 or high-Tg FR4 (up to 180 °C Tg), with support for halogen-free, ceramic-filled, and polyimide substrates where thermal resistance or insulation integrity is required. Hybrid builds combining FR4 and PTFE or ceramic layers can be produced up to 16 layers with engineering review.

We support overall board thicknesses from 0.2 mm to 8.0 mm, with finished copper weights from 1/3 oz to 15 oz. Internal copper distribution is engineered to manage layer-specific current loads in AC or DC power sections, with stack-up validation provided for impedance matching and creepage (surface spacing between conductors to prevent arcing) compliance.e. Dielectric materials include ITEQ IT180A, Isola 370HR, and TUC TU-872 for high-voltage durability and low Dk stability across frequency.

High Precision Fabrication Parameters

OurPCB supports tight dimensional control and fine-feature fabrication for EV charger PCBs operating at high voltage and high current. Standard trace widths and spacing down to 0.05 mm (2 mil) are achievable with LDI exposure and precision etching, depending on copper weight and layer count. For inner layers, 3/3 mil design rules are supported on 35 µm copper; outer layers can reach 2.5/2.5 mil with 30 µm finished copper.

Minimum mechanical drill diameter is 0.15 mm, with aspect ratios up to 10:1 for plated through holes. Via-in-pad, back drilling, and controlled-depth milling are available for fine pitch designs and high-speed signal routing. Board outline tolerances are held to ±0.1 mm, with hole position accuracy to ±0.075 mm.

Standard thickness tolerance is ±10% for boards ≤1.0 mm and ±7% for boards between 1.8 mm and 4.0 mm. All fabrication steps are governed by IPC-6012 and IPC-2221 design standards for Class 2 and Class 3 performance targets.

Surface Finish Options for Harsh Environments

Standard finishes include lead-free HASL, OSP, ENIG, immersion silver, immersion tin, and hard gold plating. These options are selected based on end-use application, required contact durability, and environmental exposure.

ENIG (Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold), a corrosion-resistant nickel-gold surface finish, provides excellent planarity and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for connector pads and surface-mounted components in AC and DC charging modules. Immersion silver is available for high-speed signal layers requiring low contact resistance. Hard gold is used for edge connectors or gold fingers subjected to repeated mechanical wear.

All surface finishes are RoHS-compliant and applied in controlled chemical environments with line-level inspection for thickness, solderability, and uniformity. Selective finish combinations, such as ENIG with hard gold edge fingers or OSP over inner copper layers, are supported to meet mixed interface requirements in EV charging systems.

Full-Scope Assembly Services

OurPCB provides end-to-end assembly services for EV charger PCBs, supporting both surface mount and through-hole technologies. SMT lines handle fine-pitch components down to 0201 packages, with placement accuracy of ±25 µm and reflow profiles optimized for multilayer high-copper boards. Nitrogen reflow is available for oxidation-sensitive assemblies, especially in high-voltage applications.

We support THT processes for connectors, relays, and large passive components using wave soldering or selective soldering with controlled thermal gradients. Double-sided reflow, mixed technology, and BGA rework services are also available. BGAs are aligned using optical centering and inspected post-process with 5 µm resolution X-ray systems.

All assembly steps follow IPC-A-610 Class 2 or Class 3 criteria, with real-time process monitoring for solder paste volume, placement alignment, and joint integrity. ESD-safe material handling, moisture-sensitive device (MSD) tracking, and batch-level lot control are standard across both facilities.

Integrated Inspection and Test Systems

OurPCB integrates inline inspection and electrical test systems throughout the EV charger PCB assembly process to verify build quality, functional integrity, and regulatory compliance. Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) is used after solder paste printing and post-reflow to detect component skew, tombstoning, insufficient solder, and polarity errors across all SMT placements.

For assemblies with BGAs, QFNs, or embedded pads, real-time X-ray inspection validates solder joint formation and detects voids, bridging, or incomplete wetting. All BGA rework is re-inspected post-process. Solder paste inspection (SPI) verifies volume, height, and area coverage before pick-and-place.

In-circuit testing (ICT) is available for populated PCBs with accessible test points, using custom fixtures to measure continuity, resistance, diode orientation, and component presence. High-voltage testing and functional test rigs can be applied at end-of-line for charger boards operating in 220V or 380V systems. All tests follow IPC-TM-650 and customer-specific protocols for yield control and traceability.

Protective Coating and Environmental Sealing

OurPCB offers protective coating and environmental sealing solutions tailored to the outdoor and high-voltage demands of EV charger PCBs. Conformal coating, a protective film that shields against humidity, dust, and ionic contamination, is applied by selective spray, dip, or brushing methods using acrylic, silicone, or polyurethane chemistries. These coatings protect against humidity, condensation, dust, and ionic contamination, with thickness control between 25 µm and 75 µm.

We also provide three-proof treatment—moisture-proof, mold-proof, and salt-spray-proof—based on GB/T 4797.6-1995 standards. This process enhances board survivability in outdoor-rated chargers subject to IP54 or IP65 enclosures. Materials are qualified for adhesion, dielectric strength, and thermal cycling resistance.

All coated boards are UV-inspected for coverage uniformity and undergo post-cure verification before final packaging. Optional masking is available for connectors, test points, or edge fingers to maintain electrical interface integrity during the coating process.

Support for AC, DC, and Hybrid Charging Topologies

OurPCB manufactures EV charger PCBs designed for AC, DC, and AC/DC integrated systems, supporting charger power levels from 3.3 kW up to 30 kW. We fabricate control and power conversion boards for AC Level 1 and Level 2 chargers, DC fast chargers, and bidirectional onboard modules. Each topology requires specific copper distribution, insulation spacing, and thermal design strategies incorporated at the stack-up and layout levels.

For AC designs, we support isolated control PCBs with precise routing for zero-crossing detection, relay actuation, and grid interface circuitry. DC charger PCBs are built for direct high-current transfer, with wide trace widths, heavy copper layers, and reinforced dielectric spacing to meet safety class clearance requirements.

We also support charger architectures using SiC MOSFETs, GaN FETs, and phase-shifted full bridge (PSFB), LLC, or dual active bridge (DAB) converter topologies. Our production team can adapt layer counts, thermal relief, and pad geometry to support each topology’s electrical and mechanical demands.

Class III and High-Reliability Testing

PCB Testing Services FAQs

What’s the Difference Between Bare Board and Finished Assembly Testing?

Bare board PCB testing services verify the electrical integrity of copper traces and vias before any components are mounted. This involves continuity and isolation checks using flying probe or fixture-based setups to confirm that the PCB design matches the netlist and that no shorts or opens exist.

In contrast, PCB assembly testing services inspect and electrically validate the final assembled product, including functional testing, solder joint inspection, component orientation, and logic behavior under simulated operating conditions. Both test stages are essential to ensure the quality of the PCB from fabrication through deployment.

How do you Ensure PCB Testing Accuracy Across High-Mix Production?

We maintain testing accuracy using calibrated measurement instruments, automated optical and electrical platforms, and test scripting tied directly to BOM revision and Gerber data.

Fixture-to-board alignment is verified to ±0.1 mm, and voltage/current measurements use 0.1% tolerance digital supplies. For high-mix PCB testing services, we assign unique test profiles and lot traceability, ensuring repeatable outcomes across different assemblies and test setups.

What Types Of Defects can your PCB Testing Services Detect?

Our PCB testing services detect electrical faults such as opens, shorts, reverse-polarity components, and missing parts through ICT and flying probe methods. We also identify solder defects like tombstoning, cold joints, and insufficient wetting using 3D AOI and x-ray inspection.

Functional errors such as firmware failures, incorrect sensor output, or signal bus conflicts are captured during end-to-end functional test sequences.
