/24-7PressRelease.com/ - February 6, 2005 - Pepperell, MA—W.M. Hague Company will introduce the new Concoat Systems MUST II Plus Solderability/Wetting Balance Test system and the Nidec-Read PHE Non-Contact C4 Semiconductor Package Tester at the APEX, IPC Printed Circuits Expo February 22-24. In addition, W.M. Hague Company will also be showing Luther and Maelzer's LM40 Flying Probe and introducing the OMA-2 automatic CCD alignment option for LandM's LM400 50 mil Universal Grid Bare Board Test Systems.
The MUST System II Plus is the latest technological evolution of the Multicore Universal Solderability Tester (MUST) that grandfathered all modern solderability test standards. The new MUST System II Plus is ideal for today's needs to evaluate the impact of lead free solders. The MUST II Plus features globules capable of testing today's smallest SMD components, automatic component alignment, testing of multi-leaded components and PCBs as well as immediate pass/fail information on completion of each test. The MUST System II Plus complies with all internationally recognized standards such as IPC/EIA/JEDEC J-STD-002B, IPC/EIA J-STD-003A, MIL-STD-883 Method 2022, IEC 60068-2-54and20 and 60068-2-58and69, and EIA/JET-7401.
In addition to the Concoat MUST System II Plus, the W.M. Hague Company will also be introducing Nidec-Read's new PHE Non-Contact C4 Semiconductor Package Tester. The Nidec-Read PHE features a galvo-operated laser for die side open tests coupled with conventional spring probe fixturing which accesses the BGA side for shorts tests. The Nidec-Read PHE Non-Contact C4 Semiconductor Package Tester also features CCD alignment, auto load/unload, and Nidec-Read's ultra reliable design which make this the system of choice for volume operations. W.M. Hague Company will also be showing Nidec-Read's R-580 low cost electrical tester for semiconductor packages, flex and HDI PCBs. The R-580 system, when combined with one of Nidec-Read's low cost hand press fixtures, provides a very low cost solution to challenging test situations.
Sales Engineers from W.M. Hague Company will also be showing Luther and Maelzer's LM40-6161 Probe, a versatile flying probe tester for bare boards and flex panels. For the first time, the OMA-2 automatic CCD alignment option for LandM's LM400 50 mil Universal Grid Bare Board Test Systems for today's ultra dense, fine pitch circuit boards will be shown. Luther and Maelzer will be exhibiting at APEX, IPC Printed Circuits Expo in Exhibit 1497.
