Wedge Probe Cards made by HTT Probe Card Division Wedge Probe Cards are defined as Probe Cards containing a Pin Count of less than 50 needles which can be mounted onto industry standard positioner arms. Currently, HTT provides the option to have the Wedge Probe Card mounted onto a HTT supplied 4.5” Probe Card Frame. Historically, Wedge Probe Cards were developed from the necessity to have more than a single probe mounted on a probe positioner arm. Additional advantages of Wedge Probe Cards:
Wedge Probe Cards manufactured with HTT stocked standard PCBs enable short delivery times Connector types can be customized to match customer’s existing cables High frequency (RF), low frequency (LF), and DC combinations can be accommodated on a single Wedge Probe Card Tungsten and BeCu material option for DC needles; metal, ceramic and microstrip blades combination of several Wedge Probe Cards on one Test Setup possible (same types or different types) Possibility of single probing solution via integration of identical and/or different Wedge Probe Cards Customization for applications and Wedge Probe Card PCB layouts can be completed quickly and are minimally priced
See on the following pages HTT’s Standard Wedge PCB’s we have constantly in stock. The big image on the following pages placed on the left-hand side will show an application which is one possible configuration in Needle Count, Connector, holders as well as additional components mounted on the PCB.
