Identification of test points in high-density PCB packages is key for greater PCB production testing and service troubleshooting. Keystone Electronics has developed a new series of surface mountable test points with colored Source: Keystone ElectronicsSource: Keystone Electronicsinsulator bases as an addition to their line of rugged test points, which replace wire-wrap posts and turret terminals.

These new test points are manufactured in phosphor bronze with a silver plate for superior soldering and low electrical resistance for a variety of applications. The colored identification bases are manufactured of high-temperature nylon, suitable for most SMT reflow solder operations with an operating temperature of up to 150° C. Test points are available in 10 different colored bases: red, black, white, yellow, orange, brown, green, blue, purple and gray.

The sturdy design of these test points allow for multiple cycles of use with a variety of gripping devices, hooks, tips and probes. Delivery is from stock through Keystone’s global distribution network. Online ordering is available.
