Verticon® 100 BGA

BGA SERIES CONTACTOR
Verticon® 100 BGA
For BGA and FBGA Applications
Bringing Higher Performance to BGA Test
Ideal for High Speed Digital, RF, and Precision Analog Testing
Precision Measurements
The short contact length of the
Verticon® 100 BGA contactor, makes it
well suited for high frequency wireless/
microwave applications as well as
high-speed digital interfaces. The
combined contact profile and proprietary
plating enable low and stable contact
resistance measurements, making
it ideal for precision low noise DC
measurements.
Repeatable Results
The solid contacts of the Verticon® 100
BGA contactor provide a consistent
electrical length that reduces
measurement variance - resulting in
higher yields and greater opportunity for
up-binning/speed-binning.
Low Maintenance
Verticon® 100 BGA’s patented selfcleaning micro wipe action breaks
through oxides on the device ball,
then clears the contact tip, resulting in
extended MTBA cycles. The engineered
materials of construction result in
long contact life. And replacement
contacts are reassembled in a cartridge,
providing quick mean-time-to-repair.

Specifications provided here are based on internal testing at Johnstech,
customer production sites, and third party electrical testing. Actual
individual results may vary based on a wide range of variables including:
handler/contactor/load board interface, handler plunge depth and velocity,
device presentation, alignment plate condition, solder ball material, test
floor conditions, maintenance activities, mounting/fastening techniques,
non-coplanarity from site to site, non-coplanar docking, and temperature
extremes.
