Test Interface and Mass Interconnect Solution

Mass Interconnect Test System Solution

The Mass Interconnect Test System Solution addresses signal connection, fixture changeover and long-term maintenance needs in complex automated test systems. Through a standardized and modular Mass Interconnect architecture, it reliably connects the UUT (Unit Under Test) with Test Resources such as PXI, instruments, power supplies, loads, DAQ and communication modules. Combining localized design, customized interface development, fixture integration and on-site technical support, onTAP provides interconnect solutions for different products, test platforms and production takt requirements, with support for sample trials and localized alternative evaluation.

Customer Challenges

  • Complex ATE systems involve many signal, power, communication, RF and pneumatic connections, making manual wiring error-prone and hard to maintain.
  • Without a standardized connection architecture between the UUT and PXI, instruments, power supplies, loads and DAQ resources, system expansion and maintenance become difficult.
  • Multi-model production lines require frequent fixture and interface changeover, while traditional cabling is slow and less reliable.
  • Fixtures, interface boards, cabinets and instrument platforms are often provided by different suppliers, creating unclear integration boundaries.
  • Customers evaluating localized alternatives need reliable connections, custom adaptation, sample validation and continuous technical support.

Solution Approach

  • Analyze UUT test points, signal types, test resources and fixture interfaces to build a clear UUT-to-Test Resource connection architecture.
  • Use modular Mass Interconnect design to standardize access to PXI, instruments, power supplies, loads, DAQ and communication modules.
  • Optimize signal paths, maintenance methods and changeover flow together with fixtures, interface boards, harnesses and cabinet layout.
  • Provide localized custom design for product interfaces and test platforms, supporting different signal types, interface combinations and mechanical adaptation.
  • Offer sample trials, solution evaluation, interface selection, fixture integration, on-site commissioning and continuous technical support.
  • Support localized replacement projects with usability validation, maintenance strategy review and future expansion planning.
