Economical solution for push back tests
Push Back ProbeV03 with integrated switch function

Push back tests are generally performed for testing safety relevant wire harnesses and connectors. With this test the correct position of the contact pins and the electrical function of the contact elements in the connector are tested. With the new push back probe V03 FEINMETALL now offers an eminently economical solution for push back tests at 3mm centers.

Modular test concept for interchangeable vacuum cassettes
Pylon Receiver

The Pylon-Receiver is a modular test concept for interchangeable vacuum cassettes with a modular configuration out of different fixture steps. Initially the interface-receiver serves as a connection or assembly of any random individual electronic measuring equipment. This is docked at the FEINMETALL-Receiver over a prevalent Pylon-interface.

Progressive probes for advanced requirements and lead-free soldering pads
FEINMETALL - Progressive Series

Problem:

The test of printed boards, which are tested after a longer shelf time or in an unclean state, often challenge the application of the spring contact probes with a process problem. The surface area of, for e.g. lead-free soldering pads, exhibits viscous /stringy flux-contamination as also harder and thicker oxide layers. Such surface areas and intensified addition of contamination at the contact tips lead to a deterioration of the electrical characteristic during tests. Moreover the mechanical penetration gets all the more difficult and thereby reducing the life cycle of the contact tips considerably.
