Overview
A bed of nails is a device that interfaces your electronic equipment to your testing device. Not to be confused with an actual bed with nails.
Details
The company provided me with the schematics of their products and based on their requirement identified the test points. I isolated all the required test points and submitted the document to my manufacturer of the Bed of Nails.
Using KiCad I designed the biscuit PCB that interfaces with the Bed of Nails. The cable routing was done manually and goes to the Automatic Testing Equipment (ATE).
