Experience Pickering Electronics’ Latest High Power Reed Relays at the Korea Test Conference 2024 in Seoul
Come see the newest high power reed relays from Pickering Electronics at the Korea Test Conference in 2024. Visit Pickering Electronics at the event in Seoul, Korea on July 2nd, 2024.
Pickering Electronics, a top producer of high-performance reed relays, will be presenting its full range of reed relays for semiconductor testing at the Korea Test Conference 2024. This includes their newest high-power reed relay model, Series 144. The company's booth will be located on the third floor of The-K Hotel in Yangjae-dong, Seoul, Korea on Tuesday, July 2nd.
The 25th Korea Test Conference, organized by the Institute of Semiconductor Test of Korea, is a yearly event where experts from academia, research institutions, and industry come together to share their research findings and technological advancements. This conference emphasizes the testing and utilization of semiconductors, including both memory and non-memory types, with the goal of boosting competitiveness and rejuvenating the local semiconductor testing sector.
Robert King, Product Development Manager at Pickering Electronics, expects a lot of interest in the company's reed relay products for instrumentation and automatic test equipment at the Korea Test Conference. He believes that various industries and applications, such as mixed-signal semiconductor testing, medical electronics signal switching, electric vehicle charging, solar cell monitoring, and high voltage instrumentation, will be drawn to Pickering's offerings.
Testing methods for semiconductors include DC parametric testing, which involves measuring current and voltage at different levels, and AC parametric testing, which involves testing at various frequencies. These tests are conducted to ensure that the device meets the required specifications. Functional testing is also conducted to verify that the device functions correctly. To perform these tests, the Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) must be able to apply different test conditions. Since probe stations typically have a limited number of probes, the ATE must be able to switch between multiple test conditions and direct the test results to the appropriate signal conditioning circuitry. Reed relays, which are controllable switching devices, are essential for this process.
Designed for testing mixed signal semiconductors, Pickering's Series 144 single-in-line reed relays are able to handle higher power levels compared to traditional dry SIL reed relays. While standard dry relays are typically rated at 0.5 amps at 10 Watts, the Series 144 reed relays can switch currents of up to 2 Amps, allowing for power delivery of up to 60 Watts, or 1 Amp for up to 80 Watts, with a continuous carry current of up to 3 Amps. These relays also have high-voltage capabilities, with a switching voltage of 1000VDC up to 10W and up to 3kV stand-off. The Series 144 is Pickering's smallest miniature SIP reed relay, offering a power rating of up to 80 Watts. It combines the ability to switch higher power levels efficiently with exceptional low-level performance, making it a great choice for applications requiring both high-power and low-level switching capabilities. Additionally, it can be used as a substitute for mercury wetted reed relays or miniature electromechanical relays (EMRs) due to its outstanding low-level performance and high isolation advantages.
Pickering offers a wide variety of reed relays that are suitable for a range of uses, such as testing mixed-signal semiconductor devices, electric vehicles, advanced cable testers, backplane testers, medical electronic equipment, solar energy applications, large-scale physics projects, in-circuit testing devices, and high voltage instruments.
