Surface Mount Device Probing and Interconnects

The increasing use of surface mount technology (SMT) brings many benefits to electronic circuit board (ECB) design and manufacture. Among these are increased circuit density, increased product reliability and lower assembly costs.

Troubleshooting and device interconnection, however, have become more difficult due to decreased device size, tighter lead spacing and increased ECB densities. Tektronix' offering of the following SMT probing and interconnect devices meets these demanding requirements.

SMK4 Micro KlipChip Adapter

The SMK4 is an interface device which can attach to fine-pitch IC leads similar to the SMG50. The difference between the SMK4 and the SMG50 is the size. The SMK4 can be used to attach to PQFP packages up to a pitch of 0.5 mm which is five times smaller than the SMG50.

The kit of four 0.5 mm SMK4 Micro KlipChip Adapters are for use as probe tip accessory replacements with the P6247/P6246 and as a recommended accessory for the probes listed below, which can attach to the SMK4 0.025 in. lead.

SMG50 KlipChip Adapter

The SMG KlipChip adapter is an interface device for attachment of logic and analog probes to today's SMDs, DIPs and discrete components. The SMT KlipChip adapter is capable of attaching to components with maximum lead diameters of 0.095 inches and stackable on lead centers of 0.050 inches. Dual sided 0.025 inch lead contacts allow this grabber to be used in multiple signal insertion/acquisition.

Available as package of 20 (SMG50) or singularly (206-0364-01).

SureFoot Adapter

Probing 25 mil JEDEC, 0.65 and 0.5 mm EIAJ Packages

The SureFoot adapter is an integral probe tip and miniature guide that enables fault-free "hands-on" probing of fine-pitch SMD packages. Guided by the IC's leads, the SureFoot adapter's miniature plastic tines align the probe before electrical contact is made. The tines also form a shield between IC leads, preventing the probe tip from shorting adjacent pins.

The SureFoot adapter conforms to EIAJ (Electronic Industry Association of Japan) or JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) packaging standards, assuring quick and reliable probe contact with fine-pitch IC leads.

Several color coded versions of the SureFoot adapter are available, addressing the most common SMD packages. The yellow version fits the 50 mil (JEDEC) center packages. The blue version fits both the 25 mil (JEDEC) and the .65 mm (EIAJ) center packages. Finally, the red versions fit the tighter, 0.5 mm (EIAJ) center packages.
