FormFactor - Cascade High Current Probe - Test power devices on wafer with high-performance and low-contact resistance on smaller pads
- Enables wafer probing up to 100 A pulsed and 10A DC
- Innovative multi-fingertip design provides even distribution of current
- Supports up to 500 V
- Replaceable Tungsten probe tips
- Temperature range of -60°C to 300°C
- Minimal contact resistance at the pad-tip junction to reduce heating during measurements, with fewer probe marks
- Prevents against thermal runaway
- Measure devices on wafer at higher currents than ever before
- Small scrub minimizes damage to aluminum pad
- Small footprint – tip fits on a 1 mm pad
Designed specifically for testing power devices on wafer, the HCP probe reduces probe and device destruction at high currents by minimizing contact resistance at the wafer-to-probe interface to prevent device heating at the tip. The innovative multi-finger design distributes the current over multiple contact points at the tip and is joined by a single heatsink which pulls heat from the probe tip.

The design of LUMIMAX® LED Bar Lights generates the optimal illumination for elongated test objects. With High Power LEDs in conjunction with interchangeable ancillary lenses, these universal LED Bar Lights are suitable for example for dark field or bright field applications. Calculate the optimal illumination area for your application easily and simply with the help of our practical tool.
The Bar Lights in the LB series impress with their enormous irradiation intensities even at large working distances.
Miniature Bar Lights of the compact LSB series are designed for applications that demand perfect illumination in restricted installation environments. Another special feature is the innovative mounting solution, which allows one to four LED Bar Lights in the LSB series to be incorporated in the square. This four-sided mounting bracket is also a very flexible solution for shape-from-shading applications.
Ultraminiature reed relays are engineered for high-density, low-profile applications where space and performance are critical. With package heights as low as 3.4 mm and footprints under 8 mm, these instrumentation-grade relays are among the smallest in the industry. Ideal for tightly stacked matrices and compact PCB layouts, they offer high insulation resistance, low contact resistance, and reliable switching for billions of operations.
