Bead Probe

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document outlines specifications and recommendations for INGUN test probes, focusing on bead probe contacting. It includes mechanical data, materials, tip styles, and usage recommendations based on bead characteristics and contamination levels.
Specifications:
  • Mechanical Data: The working stroke for models GKS-050/075/100/550 is 4.3 mm, with a maximum stroke of 6.35 mm. For GKS-135, the working stroke is 9.3 mm, with a maximum of 11.35 mm.
  • Spring Force: Options range from 1.0 N to 3.0 N, varying by model and application.
  • Materials: Plunger made of BeCu, gold-plated; barrel of nickel-silver or bronze, gold-plated; spring of steel, gold-plated; receptacle of nickel-silver or brass, gold-plated.
Tip Styles and Applications:
  • Tip Style 02: Flat tip for flux-free and small beads, available in various diameters.
  • Tip Style 60: Fine-serrated tip for beads with flux deposits, available in various diameters and pitches.
Recommendations:
  • Spring Force Selection: Based on bead composition and desired deformation, ranging from 1.0 N to 3.0 N.
  • Tip Geometry: Tips with diameter equal to shaft are suitable for close component contact and guide plate use. Larger diameters are recommended for larger tolerances and top-side contacting.
Bead Probe Technology: Specialized tip styles ensure reliable contact with various bead geometries and compositions, compatible with standard series GKS-050/075/100/135/550.
Customer Feedback: A testimonial from an ICT Development Engineer in the USA highlights the effectiveness of serrated style probes in passing contact tests on PC boards.
INGUN Recommendations for Tip Styles and Spring Forces:

Tip Styles: Flat tip style 02 is for flux-free and small beads, while fine-serrated tip style 60 is for beads with flux deposits and larger sizes. The choice depends on bead size and flux presence.

Spring Forces: Ideal spring force (1.0 N to 3.0 N) is selected based on bead composition, contamination, and solder hardness.

Tip Geometry: Tips with diameter equal to shaft are suitable for test fixtures with guide plates. Larger diameters are recommended for fixtures without guide plates and larger tolerances.

Tip Style 79 - Star: Recommended for elongated or large beads with flux deposits due to its self-cleaning function and knife-type edges.

Customer Production Test Results: Tip style 79 showed high durability and reliability, with minimal wear and effective self-cleaning after 200,000 contacts.

Mechanical Data: Working stroke and maximum stroke vary by series, with spring forces available in different strengths. Materials include BeCu for plungers and gold-plated nickel-silver or bronze for barrels.

Ordering Information: Includes series, tip material, style, diameter, plating, spring force, and collar height.

INGUN recommendations for tip styles INGUN offers tip styles with a number of variants for bead probe contacting, i.e. the flat tip style 02 with various tip diameters as well as the fine-serrated tip style 60 with various tip diameters and serrated tip pitches from 0,15 to 0,25 mm. The tip style 02 - flat tip - is preferably used for flux-free and/or small beads. The tip style 60 - fine-serrated - is recommended for beads, which are bad to contact due to flux deposits and suitably large enough beads. Decisive for the choice of the tip style is the matching up of the tip pitch in relation to...

INGUN Recommendations for Tip Styles The tip style 79 - Star - is recommended (due to the self-cleaning, horizontal arrangement of the knife-type edges) for „elongated/small" and „large" beads with flux deposits, that can stick to the tip. Decisive for the choice of the tip style # 79 is the matching up of the bead geometry and the angle of the knife-shaped edges as well as the most suitable contacting area. Tip Style 79 INGUN Recommendations for Spring ForcesThe choice of the ideal spring force in combination with the tip style, which has already been chosen, is dependent on the composition...
