Identification of test points in high-density PCB packages is key for greater PCB production testing and service troubleshooting. Keystone Electronics has developed a new series of surface mountable test points with colored insulator bases as an addition to their line of rugged test points which replace wire-wrap posts and turret terminals.
These new test points are manufactured in Phosphor bronze with a silver plate for superior soldering and low electrical resistance for a variety of applications.
The colored identification bases are manufactured of high-temperature nylon, suitable for most SMT reflow solder operations with an operating temperature of up to 150°C. Test points are available in 10 different colored bases: Red, Black, White, Yellow, Orange, Brown, Green, Blue, Purple and Gray.
The sturdy design of these test points allow for multiple cycles of use with a variety of gripping devices, hooks, tips and probes.
A major manufacturer of interconnect components and electronic hardware, Keystone’s capabilities include stamping, machining and assembly services. Application engineering assistance for product modifications and special designs are also available. ISO-9001:2015 certified and RoHS compliant, company headquarters are in the USA with offices in Canada, Europe, Australia and Asia.
