RTI 950-096 fixture for heated back side test with socket and FA lid attached.
Mini-card (on a fixture) modified to allows some RF measurements on a hybrid RF module The 950-096 series offers a complete family of sockets and test fixtures for topside and back-side test including micro-probing, backside emission, and heated sockets for temperature testing and liquid crystal testing. This family of sockets and fixtures will meet most low pin count applications with 96 or fewer package pins.
The 950-096 fixtures use a 100-pin Yamaichi connector to interface to RTI's switch / break-out boxes, RTI’s and third party curve trace systems, functional test systems, and other common FA test equipment. An optional bottom-side connector can be added to allow the test fixtures to plug into dedicated fixtures mounted on probe stations and other test equipment. (see 900-384 fixtures) Custom fixtures are also available for other connector and cable systems.
The basis of the 950-096 series are our FA test sockets and mini cards. The mini cards are small daughter cards that hold the socket and optional heater assembly. The mini-card assembly then interfaces through a pogo pin block to any of the below standard fixtures. In addition to our standard mini-cards, RTI can supply custom mini-cards that allow additional interface to the DUT under test. Mini-cards can also be used as a stand-a-lone small break out board for bench testing.
950-096 MiniCards

+V (inner ring) leads to +V banana plug on the 950-060 fixture base.
GND (outer ring) leads to GROUND banana plug on the 950-060 fixture base and ties to pins 1,2,99, and 100.
SMT pads for each signal pin allow for optional R/C loads to +V or GND rings.

Mini-Card with extension to allow access to all DUT pins on the mini card. Can be uses stand-alone or with the 950-096 base fixtures. RTI offers several types of standard fixture bases that interface to our mini-cards:
Pogo Pin Interface for top-side test (heated and non-heated options)
Pogo Pin interface for back side test (heated and non-heated options)
ZIF socket interface to RTI Mini-Cards shown with Mini-card attached (top side test only, requires pins be assembled on the mini-card)Expand on the power of the 950 series with these accessories
Temperature controller for heated lids and bottom side heaters
Switch Box for activation of specific contacts
Interfaces to RTI's and NSC curve trace fixtures
Probe station and EMMI MIcroscope mounting fixtures
Cables and black boxfeed-through
Custom Interfaces are availableto maximize functionality.
Heated Options (for most fixtures using the 1133 sockets)
Heated fixtures have a heating element and temperature-sensing device (RTD or Thermistor) built into the mini card assembly or the lid. An RTI temperature controller is required for operation.
