Pierce-able masking | 13 February, 2013

Does anyone know of a masking material that could be applied over test pads that could be left on board that ICT test probes will pierce? could be tape or dispensed material.

Thanks!!

Choices ... You got choices | 13 February, 2013

Things that come mind are: * Not sure why you want to do this, since probing solder gives a longer probe life than probing copper. * I've never tried it, but I see no reason why you couldn't probe Kapt0n or blue painters tape. * Fabs [or you] can print temporary solder mask.
