1. What is the HIOKI FA1220-11?
The HIOKI FA1220-11 is an inline press-type in-circuit tester for electrical inspection of populated printed circuit boards. It is designed for production environments where stable, repeatable and efficient PCB testing is required.
2. What is the difference between FA1220 and FA1220-11?
The FA1220 is HIOKI’s compact measurement unit for multi-channel electrical testing. The FA1220-11 is a complete inline press-type ICT system that uses the FA1220 measurement technology inside the machine for production-line PCB inspection.
3. What is the main strength of the FA1220-11?
The main strength of the FA1220-11 is HIOKI’s measurement technology inside the system. While the press-type structure provides repeatable fixture contact, the FA1220 measurement platform provides the stable, accurate and flexible electrical testing performance required for reliable production-line PCB inspection.
4. How many pins can the FA1220-11 support?
By adding scanner boards, the FA1220-11 can support up to 2048 pins. This makes it suitable for complex PCB inspection where many test points must be measured in a stable and repeatable way.
5. What can the FA1220-11 test?
Depending on the fixture and system configuration, the FA1220-11 can support short/open testing, insulation testing and various electrical measurements. It is suitable for checking populated PCBs and detecting defects across multiple components and circuits.
6. Why is HIOKI measurement technology important in an ICT system?
In an ICT system, the quality of the internal measurement unit directly affects test accuracy, stability and repeatability. The FA1220-11 is built around HIOKI’s proven FA1220 measurement platform, which supports precise DC and AC voltage and current measurements for reliable PCB inspection.
7. Is the FA1220-11 suitable for inline production?
Yes. The FA1220-11 is designed for inline production environments where PCBs must be tested repeatedly and efficiently. Its press-type fixture structure helps provide stable contact with PCB test points and supports reliable electrical inspection in production lines.
8. Does the FA1220-11 require a dedicated fixture?
Yes. As a press-type in-circuit tester, the FA1220-11 normally requires a dedicated fixture or pin board designed for the customer’s PCB. The fixture design depends on the PCB layout, test points, inspection items and production requirements.
9. Is the FA1220-11 used in actual production?
Yes. The FA1220-11 has been adopted by major Japanese manufacturers and is suitable for customers who require reliable inline PCB inspection, stable test quality and long-term production support.
10. Why choose the HIOKI FA1220-11?
The FA1220-11 combines an inline press-type ICT structure with HIOKI’s reliable measurement technology. With support for up to 2048 pins, stable fixture-based contact, flexible configuration and proven adoption in Japanese production environments, it is a strong solution for manufacturers looking for reliable PCB inspection in production lines.
