[0002] Power supply product PCBA testing is a key link to ensure the reliability and safety of power supply products, which includes a series of strict testing processes and methods, mainly involving electrical performance testing, function testing and other aspects. Electrical performance testing includes measurement of parameters such as voltage, current, power, efficiency and power factor, as well as detection of safety indicators such as line insulation resistance and leakage current, to ensure stable output of power supply products under actual working conditions.
