TESTING ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS (TEC)

I. Background Information

An electronic circuit is a structure that directs and control electric current to perform
various function including signal amplification, computation, and data transfer. It comprises
several different components such as resistors, transistors, capacitors, inductors, and diodes.
These are set to get more complex, be it a simple home appliance or advance space
technology. It is more important to keep up to speed with the upgrades in testing technology,
and the right way to use it to ensure safety.
An electronic component is any basic discrete device or physical entity in an electronic
system used to affect electrons or their associated fields. Electronic components have a
number of electrical terminals or leads. Electronic component testing is done in different
phases of the product’s lifecycle.
All electronic equipment tends to wear out over time due to heating, moisture, shock,
or vibration. This can lead to performance degradation. Therefore, every electronic
component testing facility needs to have a required equipment be it a simple multimeter or
complex oscilloscope.

Component Identification
A. Resistors – is an electronic component that resists the flow of electrical current.
It is typically used to control the amount of current that is flowing in a circuit.
Resistance is measured in units of ohms and named after George Ohm, whose law
defines the fundamental relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.

B. Capacitors – is an electronic component that can be used to store an electrical charge.

These are often used in electronic circuits as temporary energy-storage devices.
Capacitance is measured in units of farads and named after Michael Faraday, a British
chemists and physicist who contributed significantly to the study of electromagnetism.

Testing Strategies for Electronic Components:

A. Passive Electronic Components – are those that don’t have the ability to control
electric current by means of another electrical signal. Examples of passive electronic
components are capacitors, resistors, inductors, transformers, and sme diodes.
Electric components, both active and passive, are lifeline of any Printed Circuit Board
Assembly. They both play vital roles in the functioning of any electronic device.
B. Dynamic Testing – Electronic tests place a wide range of performance demands on
test equipment for static and dynamic test equipment. The equipment is used to
validate new designs, improve manufacturing processes and prove the quality of end
products.
C. Mechanical Testing – requirements involve static, dynamic, and fatigue testing in
tensile, compression, shear test modes.
 Testing the mechanical endurance and integrity of electronics components and
assemblies is important to validate designs, improve manufacturing, and ensure the
reliability of final products.
D. In-Circuit Testing – in –circuit test equipment provides a useful and efficient form of
printed circuit board test by measuring each component in turn to check that it is in
place and of the correct value.

In-circuit test equipment consists of a number of elements:

A. In –circuit tester- the in circuit test system consists of matrix of drivers and sensors
that are used to set-up and perform the measurements.
B. Fixture- the in-circuit test system connector interfaces with the second part of the
tester.
In view of the variety of boards will be designed specifically for a particular board, and
acts as an interface between the board and the in circuit tester.
It takes the connections for the driver sensor points on the board using a “bed of nails”
C. Software- is written for each board type that can be tested. It instructs the test system
what tests to perform, between what points and details of the pass/fail criteria.

Types of Electrical Component Test Equipment:

A. Digital Multimeter –this is the most versatile kind of testing device. It is used to
measure current, voltage, resistance, and various of the parameters of a circuit.
-can be also be used to test continuity between two points in an electronic circuit.
B. Solenoid Voltage Tester- these are also known as “wiggies”, and are used
to test AC and DC voltages between 100 and 600 volts.
C. C. Digital Oscilloscope – helps in converting non-electrical vibrations or sounds into
2-D wave form as a function of time. The waveform thus obtained can be studied for
frequency, amplitude, and time interval.
D. Logic Analyzer – this may be used to test complex digital and logic circuits and display
the relative timing of a large number of signals.
E. Signal Generator – this is used primarily in the R&D and manufacturing stage to
generate electronic or analog signals in the test environment.
F. Network / Impedance Analyzer – this is used to test complex impedance as a function
of frequency. It helps characterize electronic components, electronic circuits, and
materials used to make circuits.
G. AC/DC Power Source- this acts as a regulated AC/DC power source for bench testing
of electronic circuits. The main function of a power source is to convert domestic power
sources into specific voltages and currents.
