Automated Board Support Insertion
As circuit boards become more densely populated and components more sensitive to minor stress and strain, it is crucial to ensure proper support during testing. Board supports, commonly referred to as Dead Stops, contact both the bottom and top surfaces of the circuit board. These Dead Stops must...
