Company profile
ABI Electronics
Makes IC screening and electronic diagnostic equipment, including SENTRY counterfeit-component detection, in Barnsley.
Company overview
ABI Electronics designs and manufactures electronic diagnostic equipment in the UK, with its address at Dodworth Business Park in Barnsley. Its direct semiconductor test offering includes SENTRY, a component screening system for incoming inspection and supply-chain quality control. The system measures electrical responses at component pins and compares the resulting signatures with trusted reference data. It can flag anomalies associated with incorrect dies, missing bond wires, damaged components and other discrepancies. Standard and customised adapters accommodate a range of analogue and digital device packages, including BGAs. The wider product portfolio covers circuit-board fault diagnosis, reverse engineering and programmable-device testing. ABI therefore combines an identifiable IC-screening capability with broader equipment for maintaining electronics across defence, transport, energy and industrial applications.
