Proprietary test contactor exhibits high RF performance
Based on the well-established offset vertical architecture of the Link contactor, Multitest has developed the Link HB which adds boardside compliance with improved pin/pad concentrated contact. The proprietary design of the Link HB (patent pending) compensates for load board planarity tolerances, which are particularly critical in multisite applications.
The offset vertical architecture of the Link contactor family is designed to support superior test yield, maximum repeatability and low repair and replacement cost. The wipe motion of the probe provides scrub through oxides on the IC pads and cleans itself when moving back to its original free height.
This motion is fully decoupled from the connection to the test interface board resulting in a stable connection between the probe and the load board pad, avoiding pad wear and carbon debris buildup. This implementation also eliminates the potential for arcing between the probe and the test interface board pad.
