Multitest Launches Contactor for High-End Digital Applications
March 2, 2012. Multitest, a designer and manufacturer of final test handlers, contactors, and load boards used by integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) and final test subcontractors, has launched the newest member of the Quad Tech contactor family: the Triton contactor for high-end digital applications, including devices used in servers, computers, mobile smartphones, and digital TV and graphics. Typically, such devices feature large array packages; they are highly integrated, with high I/O count, including many high-speed differential I/Os.
Current existing solutions face several issues: contactor bowing, limited compliance, and test handler force limitations. The Triton solves these challenges by offering an enhanced compliance window to accommodate stack height variations. It provides optimized force to support large BGAs and LGAs as well as multisite package test. It offers up to 20-GHz differential bandwidth.
The design of the Triton contactor leverages the advantages of the Multitest Quad Tech architecture for high-end digital applications. Multitest says the Triton has already been successfully evaluated at high-volume production and Multitest has received several reorders.
