3070 Series 3 ICT
The Keysight / Agilent 3070 Series 3 ICT is an in-circuit tester for electronic boards. The 3070 Series 3 operates with required pressure of 6-7 bar. The 3070 Series 3 uses measurement cards arranged in two banks with 23 card numbers per bank.[1]
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn-circuit testers are electronic test systems used to verify assembled circuit boards by making electrical contact to many board nodes through a fixture. In-circuit testers generally focus on component presence, connectivity, shorts, opens, and powered or unpowered parametric checks at board level. In-circuit testers are part of electronics manufacturing test flow rather than wafer fabrication process equipment.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn in-circuit tester operates by contacting a populated circuit board through a bed of probes or other fixture interface and routing those points into measurement resources. An in-circuit tester generally applies signals and power in a controlled way to measure continuity, isolation, component values, and selected functional responses. An in-circuit tester commonly uses modular cards, control electronics, and host software to sequence tests and collect results.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn-circuit testers are used after component placement and soldering, when the printed circuit assembly is electrically complete enough for node access and measurement. In-circuit testers typically sit after assembly operations and before later board-level functional test, burn-in, or system integration. In-circuit testers help isolate assembly defects at the board stage, where individual nets and components can still be diagnosed efficiently.
