FCT (Functional Circuit Test) Bench
We manufacture Functional Circuit Test (FCT) Bench, designed to verify the entire functionality of PCBAs under simulated final operational electrical conditions. With a comprehensive suite of function modules and our proprietary NSMView Logic Builder software, our FCT solutions empower manufacturers to deliver high-quality, reliable products.
Functional Circuit Testing, or FCT, is a holistic approach that treats the PCBA as a “black box.” Unlike component-level tests, FCT evaluates the PCBA’s response under actual working electrical conditions. By simulating inputs and outputs—such as power supply, sensor inputs, and communication protocols—FCT verifies that the entire assembly functions as expected in its final electrical environment. If a PCBA passes the FCT, it is highly likely to perform reliably in the field, reducing returns and enhancing customer satisfaction.
