Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide sensors inside an In-Circuit Tester (ICT) that measure stress on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) every time the ICT runs through a manufacturing process. This ICT can comprise an Internet of Things (IoT) device which can measure, monitor, record, and show stress data that is being exerted by ICTs on the mounted PCB in real-time during tests thereby providing technicians an ability to oversee failures based on historical data that the IoT device provides.
