As a sub-contract test service we are constantly sourcing test equipment to better our services to our customers. In the past we have tried translator boards for complex double sided pcb's but have had limited success. As a test house it isn't practical mainly as we don't have the equipment to manufacture the translator board as Exacta or any other PCB vendor has. I have found a new tester that uses a contact-less test method for tight SMD and MBGA. It uses a wire wrap test fixture to input a signal into a network and a non contact sensor for the fine pitch output pads. I can see that this tester has many advantages which is why we are interested and as such we need an automatic wire wrap machine. -- jake kelly *************************************************************************** * TechNet mail list is provided as a service by IPC using SmartList v3.05 * *************************************************************************** * To subscribe/unsubscribe send a message <to: [log in to unmask]> * * with <subject: subscribe/unsubscribe> and no text in the body. * *************************************************************************** * If you are having a problem with the IPC TechNet forum please contact * * Dmitriy Sklyar at 847-509-9700 ext. 311 or email at [log in to unmask] * ***************************************************************************
