atg-Luther Maelzer to Exhibit at productronica 2019
November 4, 2019 | atg Luther & Maelzer GmbHEstimated reading time: 1 minute
atg Luther & Maelzer GmbH, is looking forward to meeting with attendees at the upcoming productronia 2019 trade show in Hall B3 booth 203 at the Messe Munich.
The company will be showcasing their latest automatic Flying probe test system atg A8aL.
atg’s A8aL is able to test pad sizes down to 35 micron and is capable of testing HDI products for smart phones or tablet and Production panels up to a test area of 24.0” x 21.0” in manual and 19.0” x 16.5” in automatic mode. The A8aL eliminates limitations due to test point density or fine-pitch contacts and also features embedded component test, 4-wire Kelvin measurement capability with an accuracy down to +/- 0,025 mΩ, and latent defect testing. In combination with the fast test speed of up to 140 measurements/second, the A8aL provides a “lights-out” automated handling solution for batches up to 500 boards. To achieve high throughput the key feature of the A8a is a new dual shuttle system, which reduces the product exchange time to zero seconds in automation mode.

Study on Resonance Mitigation in Metallic Shielding for Integrated Circuits
07/08/2025 | Article by Maria Cuesta Martin, Victor Martinez, Vidal Gonzalez Aguado, Würth ElektronikInherent cavity resonant modes often lead to significant degradation of shielding effectiveness, responsible for unwanted electromagnetic coupling. Cavity resonant modes of the metal shielding enclosure can produce two adverse problems: the mutual coupling among different RF modules and shielding effectiveness reduction of the metal enclosure. The cabinets serve to shield certain components from electromagnetic interference (EMI). However, these cavities present some resonance peaks at 5 GHz, making it impossible to use them at higher frequencies.
