GÖPEL electronic Integrates Boundary Scan into Takaya Flying Prober
December 1, 2025 | GÖPEL electronicEstimated reading time: 1 minute
In medium-volume assembly manufacturing, flying probe testers are becoming increasingly popular for in-circuit inspection and programming due to their high performance. GÖPEL electronic offers integration packages for these testers to seamlessly incorporate boundary scan into the test routines. Such a solution is now available for Takaya's APT-2600FD flying probe tester. This eliminates the need for manual contacting of the PCBA, saving time-consuming handling steps. Component testing, boundary scan, programming, and functional testing are thus performed on one and the same system.
The Takaya APT-2600FD system with the multiprobe option allows users to flexibly contact their own pad geometries with a mini adapter. The multiprobe is implemented as standard on the underside as an alternative tool to a bottom probe. This enables compact contacting of JTAG-relevant signals, including the board supply. All JTAG/boundary scan tests and component programming can thus be integrated into a fully automated inline system with loader and unloader. The integration package is based on the SCANFLEX II CUBE architecture and contains specially tailored components for the Multiprobe option. Thanks to the smooth handshake between the Takaya APT and GÖPEL electronic software, electronic assemblies can first be MDA and boundary scan tested, then programmed, and finally function tested.

EDIP Opens the Door: EU Funding Now Available for Defence Electronics Including PCBs and Substrates
04/21/2026 | Alison James and Chris Mitchell, Global Electronics AssociationThe European Commission has published a call for proposals under the European Defence Industry Programme (EDIP), and for European electronics manufacturers the message is clear: this is real money for real capacity, and PCBs and IC substrates are explicitly in scope. EDIP's Industrial Reinforcement Actions (IRA) dedicate €122.25 million to key electronic components, covering guidance electronics, propulsion electronics, RF and laser modules, multispectral cameras, avionics, PCBs and IC substrates, lithium-ion polymer batteries, power electronics, and critical semiconductor building blocks
Women in Technology: Learning to Just Be Myself
04/21/2026 | Michelle Te, I-Connect007Approximately 100 women and a handful of men gathered for a Women in Electronics evening event at APEX EXPO. As I wandered among the tables before it started, I stopped to chat with several women all wearing purple and white polo shirts emblazoned with the TTM logo. It turns out they are part of TTM’s Women in Technology Group, so I sat down and invited them to share their thoughts on coming to the event and what it means to be part of the electronics industry.
Advanced Electronics Packaging at APEX EXPO with Matt Kelly
04/20/2026 | Real Time with... APEX EXPOThe first advanced electronics packaging conference at APEX EXPO 2026 was well-received this year with an engaged audience. Matt Kelly, CTO of the Global Electronics Association, says the expanded focus on component and system-level integration fosters unprecedented collaboration across the industry. Also new this year were the Design Pavilion and Technology Theater, which brought commercial value to technical discussions and highlighted the critical role of timely standards development in rapidly evolving sectors such as AI and automotive.
