Pick-and-place handler adds temperature control features

April 21, 2017

Rosenheim, Germany. Multitest announced that its MT9510 pick-and-place handler is now available with an optional active-socket-purge (ASP) feature.

By applying thermally controlled air flow to the pins the ASP keeps the temperature contact pin i

n the socket at the set test temperature. ASP provides optimum thermal energy to device under test and reduces the energy losses during test significantly. Particularly for high-pin-count devices this feature has a substantial influence on the overall temperature performance and therefore reduces the temperature calibration efforts.

Syariffuddin Kamarudin, product manager for the MT9510, explained, “With ASP we extend our temperature-control features for the MT9510. This is especially important for the automotive market where strict requirements for temperature accuracy are in already in place. The MT9510 with ASP will support our customers to improve quality and yield.”
