HP The new Progressive Series has been developed for rough and extreme requirements (e.g. for contacting lead free soldering or very contaminated PCB s). The Progressive Series tips are well prepared for those applications and they are more aggressive and harder than usual gold plated tips. Therefore they provide a better penetration, resulting in a excellent contact and a longer lifetime. The new progressive functional coating enhan- ces the durability of the contact surface. At the same time it is also less sensitive for contamination, especially during soldering. The Progressive Series has the same dimensions than the standard ICT-Pro- Note: bes F050, F075 and F100.

Pobes for advanced requirements and lead- free soldering pads The subject: Printed circuit boards, which are tested after a longer shelf time or with unclean conditions, are very difficult to contact. The surface of the solder pads exhibits viscous flux-contami- nations or hard and thick oxide layers. Standard Grind FEINMETALL Grind These layers are difficult to penetrate and have a poor conductivity during Functional Progressive Coating the electrical test. Moreover in these The new progressive functional coating reduces the contamination of the contact applications the tips are contaminated tips and provides a remarkably longer life cycle of the probes. very quickly, which again results in further contacting issues. Solution: The new Progressive Series has been developed for these applications. The special design and the choice of material of these probes enable reliable contacting and long lifetime even under difficult conditions.
