FINE PITCH PROBES FOR RF APPLICATIONS Fine pitch probes For contacting fine structures at high frequencies, very short fine pitch probes are particularly well suited. Feinmetall offers suitable designs and tip styles for a great variety of ground signal arrangements and surfaces. An RF simulation allows an evaluation of the RF behavior of the contacting even before realization. So small and yet so big Fine pitch probes are so small that they can hardly be seen with the naked eye. The diameters are a few tenths of a millimeter, and their inner structure can only be seen with high...

SPECIAL ADAPTIONS AND SOCKETS FOR RF APPLICATIONS Customized RF contacting - always the right solution Do you need a special adaptation for high-frequency contacting? In that case, Feinmetall is the right partner for you. We not only develop standard products, we also realize completely individual and customer-specific solutions. Because we know that sometimes more is needed than just a contact probe. Benefit from the many years of experience of our developers. And from our manufacturing technology - we are well equipped for even the finest structures. You have a difficult contacting task?...

Probe cards for semiconductor testing - even for very high frequencies High frequencies are strongly growing fields of probe card applications.

From the first inquiry to delivery. Probe card projects at Feinmetall We develop our probe cards in close coordination with our customers. And this from the first inquiry to the final...

RF CONTACTING OF SEMICONDUCTORS LiProbe® with lamella beams - for high frequencies and fine pitches The lamella technology enables the realization of shorter contact elements than conventional buckling beams. It is therefore used for demanding applications in the high frequency range. • Suitable for pitches down to less than 150 µm • Signal transmission up to 100 GHz • Product families with different geometries of contact elements in the same head are possible • High flexibility in contact element design allows realization of desired impedances • Consistent contact force with low contact...

The Feinmetall RF competence center Feinmetall has established a competence center with an in-house RF laboratory specifically to meet the growing demand for RF contacting applications and has greatly expanded the portfolio of contacting solutions in recent years. Simulation tools Already in the design phase, various contacting solutions are tested in detail using suitable simulation methods and appropriate software. This is a fast and economical way to quickly reach the best outcome. The example on the right shows the result of an RF simulation (blue line) and the corresponding...
