It validates that the bare, unpopulated PCB has no electrical defects in its traces, vias, and drill holes. It catches shorted or open traces, drill misalignment, and impedance mismatches that would render the board useless once you add components. Skipping this is like building a house on a cracked foundation.

This is the single most common mistake I see new manufacturers make. FCT will tell you if your board works at the end of the line. It won\u2019t tell you <em>why<\/em> it doesn\u2019t work. It won\u2019t catch a cold solder joint that will fail after 100 hours in the field. It won\u2019t catch a 5% impedance mismatch that will tank your RF performance in extreme temperatures. I\u2019ve seen clients try this shortcut, and 9 times out of 10, they end up with a pile of non-functional boards that they can\u2019t troubleshoot, and a bill that\u2019s 10x what they saved by skipping earlier tests.

Full stop. Here\u2019s why: ICT requires a custom fixture that can cost $3,000-$10,000 per design, which makes zero sense if you\u2019re only running 50-500 units per board. Flying probe has no fixture cost, can be set up in hours for a new design, and catches all the critical electrical defects. Pair it with modern AOI to catch solder and placement issues that probes might miss, and you\u2019ve got a test flow that costs a fraction of full ICT, while catching 95% of the defects that will sink your batch.
