Multitest Successfully Concludes Test Cell Docking and Mounting Working Group

The document defines the generic terminology for all components that typically are found in a standard test cell setup in final package test, including perspectives, orientations and directions.The Docking and Mounting Generic Terminology Guideline document is a reference for equipment operators, specifiers, service personnel, and other industry stakeholders involved with test cell equipment features, specifications and operations.

The well-illustrated document covers test head/manipulator components and motions, test head swing positions, and device under test positions, including swing and tumble motion definitions.

“The CAST Docking and Mounting Terminology document represents a collaborative effort from many companies in the semiconductor industry. Now, with industry accepted standard terminology, the accuracy and efficiency of using, buying and servicing docking and handling equipment will be significantly improved. I would like to thank all contributors – our customers, business partners and peers. We had extremely open and collaborative meetings that brought together the issues and expectations of all stakeholders,” said Günther Jeserer.
