FormFactor - Cascade QuadCard™ - Cost-effective, versatile probe card solution
-
Accommodates a combination of up to four Cascade Microtech probes
-
Configurable for mixed-signal RF/mmW testing
-
Quick and easy repairs to be performed in the field, by simply replacing individual probes
-
Adaptable to new device layouts by exchanging individual probes
The QuadCard probe card is the industry’s first configurable, multi-quadrant probe adapter that employs innovative fine probe aligners to mount up to four FormFactor probes on a single probe card. It is designed to accommodate a combination of our probes such as Infinity Probes®, ACP probes, |Z| Probes® and Multi-|Z| Probes, which are aligned individually by the fine probe aligners.
