ELECTRICAL TEST

What is an Electrical Test (also known as Curve Trace Testing)?

Electrical or Curve trace testing is a comprehensive technique that verifies component health by analyzing the electrical properties across pins to identify possible defects or weaknesses. This testing process provides a “fingerprint” of each component’s functionality, making it ideal for detecting faults such as:

  • Open circuits
  • Short circuits
  • Leakage currents
  • Diode and transistor integrity

Through our curve trace testing, Retronix ensures that your components are rigorously evaluated and are either compliant with manufacturer specifications or flagged for failure.

Curve Trace Result Pass
Curve Trace Result - PASS, Pins compared to known good part and datasheet.
Curve Trace Result Fail
Curve Trace Result - FAIL, Device failed for showing opens with all pins connected to ground.

Shield Your Supply Chain from Counterfeit and Defective IC’s with Retronix Curve Trace Testing

The risks of counterfeit and faulty components can compromise entire supply chains. Retronix provides a solution with our curve trace electrical testing service, designed to safeguard original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and contract electronics manufacturers (CEMs) from potential disruptions caused by defective or counterfeit integrated circuits (ICs).

Our comprehensive curve trace testing detects electrical anomalies, ensuring only reliable, compliant components enter your supply chain.

The rise in counterfeit components poses a significant risk, impacting costs, operational efficiency, and customer trust. Retronix provides a first line of defense against these challenges.

  • Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities – Our expert test technicians identify issues that go beyond surface-level inspections, offering in-depth analysis of component behaviour.
  • Enhanced Screening for Quality Control – Each component undergoes testing to identify and exclude parts that do not meet manufacturer specifications.
  • Cost-Efficient Supply Chain Security – Curve trace testing offers a highly effective way to prevent the high costs associated with component failures and recalls.
  • Commitment to a Sustainable Supply Chain – We help support a sustainable, counterfeit-free supply chain by identifying reusable components and eliminating defective ones.
