Strain Gage Analysis
    Q1 Test Inc. has been the industry forerunner in regards to Strain Gage Analysis. Our engineers have been involved in this type of fixture analysis since Strain Gage Analysis was introduced to Test Fixturing. We strain gage according to the methods outlined in IPC-JEDEC 9704.

    This type of analysis is recommended for all fixtures that are testing boards with BGA technology. Our industry is demanding this type of board analysis and Q1 Test Inc. is leading the industry in this type of service. Q1 Test Inc. offers this service as a “stand alone” service, and will Strain Gage all test fixtures.
