Switch probes cut maintenance in automotive tests
The P201/GI Series from Peak Test Services is a range of switch probes designed for use in test modules for checking wiring harnesses in the automotive industry.
High-current test probes handle up to 50A
Peak Test Services has introduced a new range of high-current test probes for applications such as burn-in tests and power-supply testing.
The probes incorporate LED sensors which verify colour and intensity, ensuring that the right colour LED is in the right position on the circuit board and that the LED is bright enough for the finished product.
They can also be used to test incandescent lamps, neon lamps, vacuum fluorescent displays and liquid crystal displays.
Included in the range are Smart LightProbes which require no calibration or sensitivity adjustment for a wide range of LED types, colours and intensities.
Models are available for very accurate and stable colour wavelength measurement as well as for simple colour verification and intensity measurement.
Optomistic Products LightProbes are the light-sensing equivalent of conventional in-circuit electrical test probes used in bed-of-nails test fixtures, of which the Peak Group is the leading UK supplier.
They are similar in size and installation methods, and are ATE-compatible with a choice of digital or analogue output signals.
A datasheet on the Optomistic probes is available as an insert in the 2007 Peak Test Services full test probe catalogue.
