Probe Pin Saver™
upt_editorAnisotropic Conductive Sheet Protects Probe Pins from Solder Transfer, and Protects from Damage due to contact with target
Probe Pin Saver™ is an anisotropic conductive sheet that suppresses solder transfer to probe pins and protects the damage from contact with target such as semiconductors ball pins, and it makes the long lifetime of probe pins.
It will be extended the lifetime of probe pins in order to Place the Probe Pin Saver™ between the semiconductor pins and the probe pin like interposer and avoid the direct contact. It helps cost down for final test and reduce the maintenance process.
Issues of Probe Pins
Probe Pins Lifetime
Challenge how to protect solder transfer to probe pins
Maintenance
Challenge how to minimize the time for the replacement to new probe pins
UPT Proposal
Insert the Probe Pin Saver™ (PPS) between the test target and the probe pin
Advantages
- Protects the tip of the probe pin from solder transfer such as pure tin.
- Long lifetime
- Maintenance effort is very low, just changing the PPS.
- High contact stability for various packages such as QFN, SON, QFP, SOP, WLCSP, and BGA.
Success Story
Electrode specification per square cm
- Size：0.06mmx0.06mm
- Pitch：0.08mm
- Contact Point ：15,000 points
- Thickness：0.05mm
Insert the PPS™ between the test target and the probe pin
Probe Pin Saver™ Values
Value 1
Protects the probe pins from direct contact with the semiconductor package!
The lifetime of the probe pins can be extended by preventing contact between the probe pins and the package solder.
Value 2
Easy maintenance, just replace the PPS™
Just replace the PPS™ for the maintenance, no need to change the sockets and probe pins.
It helps cost down and save the maintenance time.
Value 3
High contact stability can be achieved by multi-point contact!
PPS™ has 15,000 contact points per square centimeter. High contact stability can be achieved for various packages such as QFN, SON, QFP, SOP, WLCSP and BGA.
