Abstract

A method of assessing a cleanliness of an assembly in a panel during a manufacturing process is provided, wherein an electrical signal of at least one of a predetermined voltage, current or frequency is applied across a first subset and a second subset of nonconnected electrical contacts in a test coupon associated with the assembly, such that the first subset and the second subset have different pitches. In one configuration, the test coupon is tested at higher voltages, currents or frequencies to a point of failure or above a predetermined threshold.
