Engineered Test Solutions from Device to PCB Level

Backed by over 35 years of engineering expertise, RTI designs and manufactures custom test sockets and fixtures built to exacting tolerances for demanding environments. With in-house design, precision CNC machining, and full quality inspection, we deliver solutions that off-the-shelf hardware cannot match.

• IC Test Sockets
  RTI designs and manufactures custom and semi-custom IC test sockets for advanced packaging footprints, demanding electrical requirements, and specialized test applications. Every socket is engineered to your DUT footprint, test environment, and electrical requirements using high-performance spring pins and/or elastomeric contacts. Whether you need a single socket for failure analysis, dozens for characterization, engineering and reliability tests, or hundreds to support high-volume production, RTI delivers solutions that not only ensure precise, repeatable electrical contact and reliable DUT alignment, but also address schedule pressures, integration challenges, and shortcomings in your existing hardware.

• PCB Test Fixtures
  Reliable fixture solutions for accurate board-level testing. RTI designs and manufactures PCB test fixtures built to your board layout and test method. From single assemblies to stacked panels, our fixtures deliver accurate alignment and consistent contact for in-circuit, functional, and engineering test applications. Options such as manual lever or pneumatic actuation, dedicated pin blocks, RF shielding, and specialized contact methods create complete test fixtures that ensure repeatable results and long-term reliability.

• Pogo Pin Blocks
  RTI designs and manufactures pogo pin blocks that create a repeatable, high-quality connection between your fixture and device under test. By absorbing the mechanical wear instead of the fixture’s main connectors, these blocks reduce downtime and extend hardware life. Available in standard layouts or tailored to unique board requirements, they maintain signal integrity while helping you adapt to evolving test needs.

• IC Test Fixtures
  Explore our innovative IC test fixtures designed specifically for advanced testing needs. We tailor each fixture to the unique specifications of your projects, ensuring that we meet even the most complex testing requirements with precision. Our solutions provide consistent accuracy, efficiency, and reliability, giving you confidence in your testing processes. Whether you conduct high-frequency tests, evaluate new designs, or manage large-scale production, our fixtures support your goals and deliver dependable results every time. Trust us to be your partner in achieving successful testing.

RTI uses a variety of high-speed, high-precision CNC systems to mill, drill, and tap small plastic and metal parts in prototype and production volumes alike. Our diverse engineering and machining backgrounds allow us to expertly produce highly complex parts within a 0.0002″ tolerance with ease.

Keeping our manufacturing process in-house makes communication between you, our engineers and our machine shop faster and easier. In-house manufacturing allows us to easily shift direction or make changes in response to any new requirements of the test solution or updates to the current design. Bringing manufacturing in-house has proven to be more cost-effective for building custom test solutions, especially if you only require a low-volume order.

Our skilled machinists are experienced in working with a variety of high-performance materials to meet your test requirements. Finished parts are pulled and inspected against the manufacturing print and fit checked with other parts involved in the final assembly. All finished assemblies undergo a range of quality inspections in optical and electrical measurements to ensure a working solution out the door.

RTI began designing and building custom test solutions for the semiconductor industry in 1989. Our design library has grown since then to include thousands of unique test sockets, test fixtures, and custom interface solutions designed to meet the evolving demands of tomorrow’s test and measurement world.
