Rosenheim, Germany. Multitest announced it has shipped the first MT9510 pick-and-place handler for testing high-voltage applications up to 10 kV (peak). A complete solution, which can be provided through Multitest’s Plug & Yield program, includes a Multitest high-power contactor. The entire setup has been optimized to meet the challenges of cost-efficient and reliable high voltage testing.
The Multitest high-voltage solution will be deployed for the automotive (hybrid car) market and for consumer applications.
The Multitest MT9510 is a kitable tri-temperature pick-and-place handler that finds use in the automotive market due to its temperature performance in the full ambient/hot/cold range and the broad variety of additional optional features.
The high-voltage set up uses a standard MT9510 base unit. All application-specific requirements are covered with the design of the dedicated high-voltage conversion kit to provide flexibility at the test floor, best return on investment, and lowest cost of test. With its favorable cost structure the MT9510 high-voltage solution also meets the targets of more cost-sensitive applications in the consumer market.
