TIM A Laboratory and IMD Test Systems, a division of IMD company, offers a brand new reliable and cost effective solution to access and test bare printed circuit boards (whose pitch can be as low as 10 mils), based on a fixture (mixing standard bed of nail and IMD Standard Mirror Boards (SMBs)). This method allows the user to test very fine pitch PCBs, even with this old standard 100 mils universal grid test system.
