TEKWORKS, Inc.
Short Circuit Location Experts
This site is designed for Electronic Technicians and Engineers who debug Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs),
manually, at the component level.
You know that short circuits are the cause of many of the faults you are debugging.  You also know that short circuits have a special debugging problem.
You have to find (locate) them before you  can repair them.

We  have a method that you can use to locate shorts. Quickly - even Power shorts. And using ordinary service equipment that you all ready own. It also works whether the the shorts are 'High Resistance' or 'Low Resistance'. So it is a Universal Method, meaning it works no matter what kind of short  you are debugging. And it is completely safe. It protects against damage to traces and components.

No need to remove components
No special equipment to buy
Works for all kinds of shorts
Pinpoints location to within .025"
Net A is shorted to net B, for example. But these two nets connect many nodes (contacts or vias) on the board. There is a short somewhere along their routes. You don't know what is causing it or it's exact physical location. The worst case is when the shorted nets are Power and Ground because there are so many nodes on these two.
