Stacking technology saves space and power
AMI Semiconductor is in full production mode with AIT's stacked die quad flat package no leads module for various consumer electronics applications.
The Advanced design features a rounded terminal head, significantly reducing the potential for pinprick injuries to employees' fingers during assembly and subsequent board handling, compared with traditional sharp-pointed 0.025in square-post test pins.
As with all products from Advanced, unique features and value-added services are available to help reduce overall system costs.
Advanced's test point pins can be individually packaged in tape and reel pockets to facilitate automated insertion.
To further reduce processing costs when used on surface mount PC boards, test pins with unique solder preforms are available.
When used in an intrusive reflow application, the preform eliminates the need for wave or hand soldering, providing the strength of a thru-hole connection point without the need for additional board processing in SMT applications.
The pins are precision-machined from brass copper alloy and plated with either matte tin or gold over nickel for RoHS-compliant applications or tin/lead over nickel for RoHS-exempt applications.
Pricing varies by pin design and volume.
Typical lead time is 6-8 weeks.
