Sierra Proto Express Installs atg S-Technology Flying Probe System for HDI Electrical Test
May 18, 2017 | atg Luther & Maelzer GmbHEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Sierra Proto Express has installed a new atg Luther & Maelzer GmbH S2-16DS, a 16-head, double-sided, high-speed, high-accuracy flying probe test system. This acquisition will enable Sierra Proto Express to test some of their latest ultra-fine HDI designs with pad sizes smaller than 25μm.
The atg S2-16DS dual shuttle testers utilize 16 test heads, multiple optical recognition systems, and a wide variety of advanced, high-speed electrical test measurement techniques to electrically test all types of PCBs for continuity and isolation. Board sizes of 24” x 24’ (or larger), with 20μm pad / 40μm pitch technology can be tested at a rate of up to 400 test points per second (depending on test method used). Special options, such as, 4-wire Kelvin test, hi-pot test, Latent defect test, and others can be provided.
