Agilent/Keysight C6386A

The Agilent/Keysight C6386A is a specialized test fixture designed for integration with Agilent/Keysight 3070 series in-circuit test (ICT) systems. It establishes reliable, repeatable electrical connections to devices under test, enabling accurate and efficient automated testing in high-volume manufacturing environments. The fixture employs a bed-of-nails contact approach with vacuum actuation to maintain consistent probe pressure and signal integrity across the entire test point matrix.

– Technical Specifications

• System Compatibility: Agilent/Keysight 3070 series ICT testers, including Series 3 variants
• Contact Method: Bed-of-nails architecture with vacuum-actuated actuation for consistent pressure application
• Probe Plate Material: Advanced AT8000 material, offering higher strength than conventional G10 (FR4) for increased test point density with reduced board flex
• Board Accommodation: Supports multiple configurations—single bank, double bank, and extended kits—for varying board sizes and component geometries without expanding probeable UUT area
• Maximum Board Sizes: Up to 15.8″ × 14.1″ depending on fixture configuration
• Fixture Construction: Built from fixture software files to ensure repeatable, consistent operation

– Key Features

• Vacuum-actuated probe engagement for uniform contact pressure
• High-density probe point capability via AT8000 plate material
• Modular configuration options (single bank, double bank, extended kits)
• Customization available to match specific test requirements and board geometries
• Designed for high-volume production without signal integrity degradation

– Typical Applications

• In-circuit test (ICT) of printed circuit boards during manufacturing
• Automated test equipment (ATE) integration in production environments
• High-density test point applications requiring consistent probe contact

– Compatibility & Integration

The C6386A integrates with Agilent/Keysight 3070 ICT platforms and requires compatible test program sets (TPS) and Test Consultant Software (TCS) for test development and execution.
