W. M. Hague Company Exhibiting New Technologies at IMAPS 200517 July 2005
W. M. Hague Company will be exhibiting new technologies and systems for testing ceramic based circuitry, laser trimming, solderability test, and SIR test at the IMAPS 2005 show in Philadelphia September 25-29.
Technologies on display will include the new PHE Non-Contact C4 Semiconductor Package Tester. The PHE features a galvo-operated laser for die side open tests coupled with conventional spring probe fixturing that accesses the BGA side for shorts tests. The PHE Non-Contact C4 Semiconductor Package Tester also features CCD alignment, auto load/unload, and an ultra reliable design that make this the system of choice for volume operations. W.M. Hague Company will also be offering the R-580 low cost electrical tester for semiconductor packages, flex and HDI PCBs. The R-580 system, when combined with a low cost hand press fixture, provides a very low cost solution to challenging test situations.
In addition to the PHE, W. M. Hague will also be previewing the LSR-3230 Laser Trimming System for LTCC component trimming, hybrid component trimming, and organic component trimming. This latest innovation for Laser Trim requirements features no fixture or probe cards on top side, 2, 4, and 6 wire test capability, and touch screen operation. The LSR-3230 is a high performance laser trim system for passive and active trim applications and provides high throughput and low running cost.
W. M. Hague will also be exhibiting the MUST System II Plus, the latest technological evolution of the Multicore Universal Solderability Tester (MUST) that grandfathered all modern solderability test standards. The new MUST System II Plus is ideal for today’s needs to evaluate the impact of lead free solders. The MUST II Plus features globules capable of testing today’s smallest SMD components, automatic component alignment, testing of multi-leaded components and PCBs as well as immediate pass/fail information on completion of each test. The MUST System II Plus complies with all internationally recognized standards such as IPC/EIA/JEDEC J-STD-002B, IPC/EIA J-STD-003A, MIL-STD-883 Method 2022, IEC 60068-2-54&20 and 60068-2-58&69, and EIA/JET-7401.
In addition to the PHE, LSR-3230, and Must II systems W. M. Hague will also be offering Concoat Systems revolutionary AutoSIRTM SIR Test Systems. Surface Insulation Test (SIR) is used to evaluate electronic assembly materials and processes. These include bare boards, permanent solder resists, soldering fluxes, wires, and pastes. The goal of SIR testing is to catch dangerous propensities for electrochemical failure mechanisms. Current methods are unable to detect and record certain critical events. And research has shown that the influences of electromechanical activity on modern circuitry can create dendrite formations (or circuit shorts) within just 20 minutes. Increasingly, the industry is embracing reliability testing that is able to measure quantitatively the influences of both ionic and non-ionic contaminants.
