ECT’s ZIP™ Probe for Semiconductor Test Exceeds Customer Expectations

ZIP probes built from HyperCoreâ„¢ base material proved superior performance in high volume production

Everett Charles Technologies (ECT) successfully passed a two month evaluation of ZIP probes using the HyperCore material option in a high volume production environment at a large OSAT in Singapore. The ZIP probe exceeded the critical first pass yield expectations and beat the target for a 500 k insertions life time by over 20%.

ZIP is one of several semiconductor test probe families offered by ECT. For this evaluation the ZIP probe was deployed in a quad-site test set-up for a 250 BGA package with 0.8 mm pitch for an Ethernet/MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) end application. The test was done at ambient and hot (85°C) conditions.

ECT Improving Performance and Reliability for PCBA Test and Industrial Applications

Everett Charles Technologies Launches l40 Tip Style

Everett Charles Technologies (ECT) launches the new l40 tip style. The innovative geometry of the l40 tip ensures best yield and reliability and overcomes the challenges of contacting lead free solder or OSP treated copper.

Lead free solder and OSP treated copper present a harder or more abrasive contact surface causing excessive plating and probe tip wear. The l40‘s advanced off axis tip geometry machining methodology was designed to improve tip wear and resistance to tip fracturing. l40 tip style offers a more robust probe design and a longer tip life. The l40‘s straight shaft lance with a 40° facet combines the penetration capability of a sharp tip probe while providing added material behind the tip to increase strength.
