D-COAX has introduced the Model W4.0 x L6.5 mini probe station, which can be used to test a chip or small circuit board when a local lab probe station is not available. The probe station has small footprint (X = 22 in., Y = 9 in, Z = 8 in.) and can be used at a desk or in a lab. It’s easy to transport, weighing only 9 lbs.
The probe station is fully manual and features a 4.0-in. x 6.5-in. test plate with vacuum holes and wideprobe holder plates on each positioner with multiple holes for probe mounting. Both positioners can slide back and forth in the X and Y directions and can be moved toward the DUT at an angle. The height positioning is accomplished via digital micrometers, and each positioner can be locked independently. Magnetic plates attach to the normal probe mounting holes to allow additional magnetic XYZ positioners with fine adjustment; probe arms are adjustable in X, Y, Z, and theta.
This probe station is compatible with all standard wafer probes and many DC needle set-ups.
