Regardless of the number of parallel tested devices, the test times get shorter. For these applications, the test handlers must fulfill their standard tasks of loading, soaking and sorting in a reduced time span. Often, the speed of traditional handlers cannot keep up the pace. The tester stays idle and is ready and waiting for the devices. Additionally, the limited soak capacity often makes traditional handlers a bottleneck for the test cell. Again, the tester needs to be waiting for the handler. The overall test cell output is not at its optimum capacity.
The outstanding soak capacity and the innovative material flow of the MT2168 perfectly respond to the reduced test times. This also is true for applications with less than 16 sites.
For longer test times, where sorting speed and soak capacity is not a factor, the MT2168 can be scaled down. Configuring the MT2168 according to the actual (speed) need reduces the initial investment cost. The customer only purchases only what is actually needed. On the other hand, the MT2168 can be upgraded easily in the field later if the requirements change.
