HERCULES

Hercules Family of Contacting Technology

Hercules is cantilever style pin with single-datum locking design that used for Automotive and Mixed Signal applications that require consistent contact resistance [Cres/RDS(on)] along with device under test temperature controlled ±2°C and long mechanical life in production environments.

• Cantilever style  with X-Direction Off-set Contact technology (IC package and load board ends are not in vertical alignment)
• Available in Full-Kelvin, Dedicated/Selected-Kelvin, and Non-Kelvin configurations
• Optional TCC enables ability to maintain ±2⁰C from set point at DUT during test

Features and benefits: 

SWS (Short Wiping Stroke) Technology:

• Ideal for Short Pads, Chamfered Corner Pads and Wettable Flank and Step Cut Styles. Less debris generation
  

Loadboard Friendly:

• No mechanical movement or wearing on loadboard pad
  

TCC (Thermal Conditional Channel) Technology:

• Maintains thermal set point of device during test process
  

Temperature testing of – 60°C to +180°C:

• Reliable temp test with single piece pin construction
