Contact for custom plating.
Lubricant: no lubricant. Gold to gold contact between Plunger and Tube
probe resistance < 100 milliohms | (Refer to the model specific datasheet)
µHELIX® spring life > 106 cycles of operation at recommended compression
Installed Pointing Accuracy drill accuracy ±20 µm (±0.0008 inch)
INSTALLATION NOTES:
Install µHELIX® (without receptacles) in a probe-guide block with guide-holes on x,y coordinates corresponding to the DUT contact pad locations. Machine the block from a homogeneous, machinable plastic material such as UltemM®1000 (Polyeherimide), Techtron® (PPS), Ketron PEEK 1000, DELRIN® (Acetel), Torlon® 4203, Pomalux® (SD). Chemical, thermal, and electrical characteristics of these materials can be found in the Tech Note TN0019 or in from your plastic supplier's datasheets.
drill sizes probe-guide: #74; 572 µm (0.0225 inch)
plunger-guide: 1/64 inch; 397 µm (0.0156 inch)
i/o pin-guide: 1/64 inch or larger (function of fixture design)
guide hole depth probe body guide: 5500 µm
plunger-guide: Function of fixture design
i/o pin guide: Function of fixture desigh
Test-Probe Orientation: S500*5500-P2 Test-Probes can be installed with either end down
Test-Probe Removal/Replacement: Remove test-probes from the guide-block by first removing the i/o PCB or fixture 'Keeper' plate, then pushing test-probe Plunger(s) into the guide-block, and removing the test-probe(s) from the i/o end.
NOTE: Do not pull the plunger away from the guide-block nor attempt to pull the test probe out of the guide-block from the plunger end.
To clean guide-block (loaded or unloaded) submerse it in clean alcohol in an ultrasonic bath
Replace test-probes by loading them into the guide-block and reinstalling the i/o block or fixture 'keeper' plate.
* NOTE: These test-probes can be installed with either end toward the Device Under Test. The coil is offset to one end but functionally, test-probes in this group are symmetrical.
