CUSTOMIZATION
Our experienced in-house engineering team delivers custom solutions with low or zero NRE. We continue to delight our customers with our unique commitment to customize IC handling solutions for different package sizes while meeting temperature requirements. We share our twenty plus years of experience and the most recent technology development, applications, and trends with customers.
Case Study 1
From Manual Testing to Full Test Automation
ON Semiconductor was doing manual testing for an automotive product line requiring a 2D code reader before testing. This is for high volume production, and without utilizing fully automated test handlers, it would need several testers and test stations to meet the demand. Due to the power module size and the special requirement for 2D reader before testing, only a few custom solutions providers were willing to take on the challenge.
SESSCO was selected to develop a solution using the SIA series handler with dual-site and integrated 2D reader before testing. In less than six months, we shipped and qualified two SIA dual temp handlers. With one T2K Advantest tester costing several hundred thousand up to a million dollars, the customer benefited substantially by reducing the number of testers required from three to two to achieve the same production goals. Furthermore, the SIA provided a highly accurate and stable temperature at +150°C, ensuring the parts tested are within specifications. Within a year, over a million devices were tested.
Case Study 2
Meeting Multiple Demands with One Solution
Many companies are seeking solutions for testing power and analog IC’s in larger packages. These devices are mostly tested using older handler models. With limited supply and hard to find spare parts and support for legacy handlers, Sessco developed the Janus I model to address these issues.
Micrel was looking for a universal solution to handle TO-220/TO-263 packages, one that could handle different configurations and device pin count in a single handler. It must also be capable of supporting temperatures of up to 130°C with multiple input tracks to make sure enough soak time was met prior to testing.
SESSCO’s Janus I model not only addressed all their requirements but also allowed Micrel to save costs on change kits. Our Janus I model, true to its name, was able to continue supporting older, current and even larger IC packaging technologies in the future.
