Xcerra touts pick-and-place handler for LED test

Rosenheim, Germany. Xcerra announced that its MT9510 XP pick-and-place handler successfully passed the onsite buy-off for an automotive LED test application at a leading lighting manufacturer. The Xcerra solution leverages the temperature accuracy of the established MT9510 test handler to ensure full temperature control during test while the LEDs are turned on and producing heat. In addition, the MT9510 configuration accounts for the sensitive surface areas of the LEDs, which must not be touched while handling the device.

All dedicated hardware is integrated in the conversion kit and does not change the base handler, maintaining full flexibility and not impacting any loading, soaking, sorting or unloading core functions.

Syariffuddin A.Kamarudin, product manager, commented, “Our solutions replace the previously applied hand test method, with obvious advantages in production volume and reliability. Reliability has been of highest importance for the customer, as the LEDs are used in the automotive industry.”

Xcerra includes two reporting segments: Semiconductor Test Solutions (STS) and Electronics Manufacturing Solutions (EMS). The STS segment supplies semiconductor testers, test handlers, device contactors, and associated services. The EMS segment offers products and services for PCB and PCBA test as well as interconnect components for electronic manufacturing.
