CARTRIDGE CARRIER TEST SOCKETS
Our cartridge carrier test sockets are for small and fragile wafer-level devices that are prone to handling issues between test platforms.
CARTRIDGE CARRIER SOCKET DESIGN
Cartridge carriers are a two-piece design that consists of a drilled multi-site tray and a retaining lid. Each cartridge is loaded once with multiple DUTs and used with corresponding test sockets through every stage of the product’s test lifecycle.
Multi-Site Sockets
Our cartridge carriers are designed for a range of test processes and are ideal for bare die, MEMs devices and small IC packages. The multi-site design protects multiple small packages and devices during transfer between test platforms.
Single-Site Sockets
Perform functional testing of individual devices with single-site sockets and cartridge carriers. Two dowel pins in the socket base precisely align the device-loaded cartridge to the pogo pins for a rapid step-repeat test process of each test site.
Cartridge Carrier Test Sockets Designed to Your Needs
Reduce your cost-of-test and device handling errors by testing small or fragile devices in a cartridge carrier socket. This unique cartridge-based design is ideal for WLCSP, bare die, MEMs devices, and packaged ICs. The cartridge carrier primarily protects small packages and devices during testing and transfers between test platforms.
Cartridge carriers are a two-piece design that aligns the DUTs in place when mounted to a test socket by screws or a clamshell lid. The cartridge can be used with single-site and multi-site sockets for various test platforms and applications.
