ELECTRICAL ELECTRICAL

At Sparx, our engineers are engaged in a project from start to finish, which yields a high level understanding of all the details of design, test and production.

Electronics are a critical component of any technology system. Sparx knows.

Manufacturability is a constant concern, and designs are optimized for ease of testing to minimize production steps.

Our test fixture designs are in use at contract manufacturing facilities to test and produce tens of thousands of boards per month.

Among other test capabilities, we have a Highly Accelerated Life Test (HALT) chamber on site to quickly find failure points in a design prior to engaging more expensive 3rd party testing.

 

Whether your design needs to be explosion proof to Class 1 Div 1 for an off-shore application or you’re pursuing FDA 510K for a new medical device, we have the experience to get your product certified for global distribution.

PCB Design

Custom PCB design and development with proper component selection, schematic design, and PCB layout from IPC certified engineers. Our expertise includes:

Prototype Electronics

Controlled Impedance

IPC-6011 / 6012 Class 1, 2, and 3

High Speed

Signal Integrity

BOM Optimization

High Density / BGA

Multilayer (10+) PCBs

Custom Test Fixtures

Sparx has experience in the development of custom test fixtures for automating the manufacturing and testing of printed circuit boards and other components. Our test fixture architecture enables:

Automated Testing of Individual Boards/Multi-Piece Panels

Visible Indicators of Pass/Fail

Integration with Label Printers

Produce Printed Test Reports

Automated Embedded Firmware Programming

Integrated Barcode Reader for Serial/Part Number Identification

Measure voltage, current, capture waveforms, inject test signals

Test & Troubleshooting

Our team has both hardware and software engineers who work closely together to understand the whole system and find the best solution to your problem, not just patch around it. Our test methods focus on:

Custom Test Firmware

Design Review for Behavioral Verification

Divide-and-Conquer Failure Isolation

Oscilloscope Capture/Automated Data Acquisition

Iterative Testing of Subcircuits During Assembly

Fault Tree Analysis

Design for Manufacturability and Test (DFM, DFT)

Regulatory Testing & Documentation

Sparx has experience producing the design and process documentation required to quickly move through industry certifications. Some of our past projects have involved certification to:

MIL-STD 810G, 461F, 1472G

FCC, CE, UL, OSHA, CSA

FDA, ISO, IEC, IPC

Production Management

We can provide the manufacturers with test fixtures and procedures to assure that you only pay for finished working products.

Knowledgable in system integration

Real World Knowledge

Prototype Design Through High-Volume Production

Local Vendors Promote Efficiency

Product Assurance Through Certification and Testing

Orderable Part Numbers

Cable Harness Design

Sparx is skilled in producing designs for cable harnesses as well. Whether the cabling is internal to an enclosure or a rugged, industrial umbilical cable for harsh environments, we can design what your application needs. We can create cable drawings, assembly instructions, and bill of materials and any other documentation you require. We can source components, build prototypes, build cable test equipment and procedures, and work with contract manufacturers to turn your custom cable assembly into an orderable part number.

Our work doesn’t stop with design and manufacturing – to truly bring a product to market often means successfully achieving regulatory compliance and approval, with documented adherence to industry standards. Our on-site test equipment and test methods help us prepare for compliance testing so assure confidence in our designs before we’re at the test facilities. Similarly, we pursue field testing in real world environments to make sure that usability needs and compatibility with environmental variables are met.
