Probe Overcomes Flat Blade Connector Contact Problem
The new P762/G from Peak Test Services is a test probe specifically designed for applications requiring high-current contacting with flat blade connectors. The new probe overcomes the difficulties previously encountered in contacting flat blade connectors with high currents, which result from the fact that the front face does not provide enough contact surface area.
Peak Production promoted to Select Member of GOEPEL electronic’s GATE program
Peak has been promoted to Select Member status of GOEPEL electronic’s global alliance program GATE. Under the terms of the GATE program, members receive application-specific transfer of GOEPEL electronic’s product expertise in the area of JTAG/Boundary Scan utilisation, as well as participating in the joint development of customised automated test systems incorporating these technologies.
PXI test desk offers integrated electronics, interface units and safety interlocks
The Peak Group has introduced a PXI-based test desk that provides an integrated framework for PXI based instrumentation, receiver interfacing based on Virginia Panel Corporation mass interconnect modules, and the associated mains distribution and safety circuitry and interlocks.
PXI Test Desk Offers Integrated Electronics, Interface Units And Safety Interlocks
The Peak Group has introduced a PXI-based test desk that provides an integrated framework for PXI based instrumentation, receiver interfacing based on VPC (Virginia Panel Corporation) mass interconnect modules, and the associated mains distribution and safety circuitry and interlocks.
Peak unveil Slimline hybrid connector for multiple I/O interfacing in automatic test systems
A hybrid version of the Virginia Panel Corporation i2 Micro iCon connector, offering up to 120 signal points and 12 micro coaxial or micro power points for multiple I/O interfacing in automatic test systems, is now available in the UK exclusively from the Peak Group.
Modular PXI test rack with integrated VPC mass interface
The Peak Group have made available a modular PXI test rack providing 13U of full-depth instrumentation space and a further 6U of depth for rear-mounted instrumentation space. The new system is ergonomically designed for use in production test environments, and includes an integrated VPC mass interface receiver adaptor, allowing large numbers of different contact types to be quickly and easily connected in a single one operation.
Push-back Test Probe With Integrated Switch Function
The new P222 from Peak Test Services is a push-back test probe featuring an integrated switch function and designed for tests on devices with 3 mm centres.
Short-travel probe for battery contact applications
The new P909 Series from Peak Test Services is a short-travel probe for battery contact applications. Depending on the application, it can be pressed or soldered to a printed-circuit board or used with a separate receptacle. For soldered use, a high-temperature solder-tight version is available.
Slimline connector for interfacing up to 168 points in test systems
Now available exclusively in the UK from the Peak Group is the i2 Micro iCon connector from Virginia Panel Corporation. Offering up to 168 signal contacts in a slimline configuration, the new connector offers a mass interconnect solution for automatic test systems including equipment based on PXI cards.
Long-travel threaded test probe
The new P31/G test probe from Peak Test Services features a long plunger and a travel distance of 14.3 mm, making it ideally suited to test applications where contact has to be made deep inside a connector.
Small threaded switching test probe
The new P221/G from Peak Test Services is a miniature threaded switching test probe with an extremely short mounting length of 24.5 mm, allowing it to be used with devices with pin spacings of 2.54 mm.
Miniature switch probe has 1 mm diameter
The new P275 miniature switching test probe from Peak Test Services has a diameter of only 1.0 mm - or 1.41 mm including the probe receptacle - making it the first switching test probe on the market suitable for applications involving devices with 75 mil (1.91 mm) spacing.
Peak Group - Switch probe for voltage-free applications
The P201/GVF from Peak Test Services is a normally open switch probe with built-in isolation for use in voltage-free ICT (in-circuit test) applications where the circuit under test needs to be isolated from voltages applied by the measurement circuitry.
Threaded switch probe copes with lateral forces
The new P888/G from Peak Test Services is a normally open threaded switch probe incorporating an integrated ball as the contact element at the top of the plunger.
New catalogue covers spring test probes
Peak Test Services has published its 2007 catalogue covering the company's comprehensive range of spring test probes and receptacles.
