Test engineers struggle to find the optimum balance between printed-circuit-board (PCB) cost and test coverage. Low coverage leads to excessive field returns, warranty replacements, and even lawsuits.

Combining Cor Van Rij's JFET test socket with two DMMs, a current limiter, switches and a wall wart yield a simple, accurate JFET tester.

For testing PCBs, test engineers have a variety of options ranging from venerable in-circuit testers and flying probers to functional testers and the latest in embedded-instrument technology.
