Michael:

The fixture company in which we use is allowing us to use .025" test pads on
our up and coming PCB. Approx. 675 test pads.  There is an additional
fixture cost for their custom "guided probe plate".  This will be our first
fixture with .025" test pads.  They tell me there will be no problems
probing these test pads.

        Does anyone have any statistics on ICT reliability based on test
point size?
        What I am looking for
        is information on what am I giving up, other than cost, by going
from a .035
        test pad to a .025 test pad.
        Is there a reliability curve based on test point size?  Any help
would be
        appreciated.  Thank you.

        Best Regards,
