(UK) Looking for small test jig manufacturers

[nali]

Hi

Does anyone have any opinions, recommendations or warnings for test jig suppliers in the UK?

I have a board about 60x80mm which will need 25 pogo pins (one side) nothing higher speed than a UART @ 115k. I'm expecting a production run of maybe 1k, and I'll just need the mechanical jig as I already have the test board and software sorted.

I've used Coda jigs before but would like to hear what anyone else thinks.

Thanks

Since you already have the software and such figured out, and only need a thing to mechanically hold the pogos and the PCB to be tested, and I assume you have the exact build dimensions of the PCB, could you simply run up a design in CAD and 3D print one yourself? We do that all the time. Its fast and cheap.

I'd recommend just spinning a PCB with appropriate sized holes to solder the pogo pins into.   Use standoffs to orient your board.

See https://learn.adafruit.com/how-to-make-a-pogo-pin-test-jig/overview for an example.  You can also use a toggle clamp or similar to hold the board in place.   

I've also had good luck with using a fixture clip such as those at https://www.adafruit.com/product/2458 to hold a board in place.

Just make some PCBs with the required holes & pads,and stack them with screw spacers. It will be quicker than communicating all the details to a third party manufacturer
