FormFactor - Cascade WPH Probe - Multi-contact DC probe with full-radius needles
- Full-radius, nickel-plated tungsten needles
- Power bypass inductance: 16 nH
- Supports collinear and non-standard needle configurations
- Support up to a maximum of 12 ceramic blades DC needles / contacts
- Ideal for probing the entire circuit for functional test
- DC probes can provide power or slow logic to circuit under test
The WPH probes feature up to 12 ceramic-bladed, nickel-plated, tungsten needles with a 2 x 12 square pin cable interface. The circuit board has been laid out such that both series and shunt components can be added to the signal path of each needle.

-
Ease of use – Less experienced operators can perform DC measurements by simply pushing a button. This reduces the need of experienced users full time on each system.
-
Reduced Soak Time – The system will automatically re-align the probes to the pads if they drift from alignment. This reduces test time and increases throughput.
-
Unattended Use – Measurements can be left running over night or the weekend, testing all devices on the wafer, and at different temperatures without the need of an operator.
