    Maxwaytec Engineering is one of the semiconductor test probe supplier in Malaysia, we have been dealing with semiconductor test probe for the industry for more than 10 years.  As usual, the test probe use in semicon industry is much smaller and shorter in dimension than the pogo pin use in PCB process.  We have a wide range of test probe products which we believe will suit your testing need and application.

    A semiconductor test probe may also name as spring contact probe, pogo pin, spring loaded probe, this is because there is a spring mechanism in the probe.

    In Maxwaytec Engineering, we focus in semiconductor test probe instead of the ordinary pogo pin.  Before we are sharing the reason, let us see what are the differences between both test probe.

    Material

    A test probe is a brass metal or stainless steel metal with gold plated, this include the music wire spring which located at the inner portion of the pin.

    The tiny probe shall be installed in a dedicated socket before it install on the tester.  After the tester install with the socket, it could use to test the relevant chip,  QFD or PC board.

    The difference of Semiconductor Test Probe.

    1. Shorter and smaller in dimension.
    2. Mostly use in semiconductor industry
    3. Install in a test socket or pogo tower.
    4. Mostly use to test for semiconductor industry.

    Parameters for choosing a Semiconductor Test Probe

    There are quite a lot of parameters a test engineer to consider while come to test probe selection, however we have summarize to below 5 parameters which is the most common criteria.

    • Test probe length
    • Pitch
    • Electric current to apply
    • Gram force
    • Tip style or design

    Contact with Maxwaytec Engineering

    You are most welcome contact with Maxwaytec about your needs on any kind of semiconductor test probe.  We have more than 10 years experience in supplying various kind of semiconductor test probe for our customer.  We could even tailor made or customize specific design of test probe for your dedicate application.

    Maxwaytec Engineering is a test probe supplier for Malaysia region. Test probe is not new to Maxwaytec Engineering, perhaps we have been supplying various specification of test probe for Malaysia base PCBA and PCB customers for more than 5 years.

    Semiconductor Test probe or known as pogo pin is a common tool use in PCBA and PCB industry. Even though some of the test probe application has been replaced by fine wire tool, but there are still a wide application of test probe.

    Basic Structure of Test Probe

    A Test probe or pogo pin consists of 3 major components:

    • Pin or plunger
    • Tube
    • Spring

    The plunger and tube are made of brass material and the spring mostly comes in stainless steel wire material. Further more, both the plunger and tube surface will be coated with nickel plating and cover with gold film.

    Maxwaytec Engineering works with our customer on selecting appropriate test probe parameters to ensure customer needs is met. We only supply reliable test probe to the industry, our test probe could easily fulfil 10000 work cycle.

    Test probe is designed to adopt lateral force while contacting with test spot. An appropriate spring force is determine to ensure proper contact.

    Test Probe Variety

    In practicle case, the test probe specification always determine but not limited to below:

    • Probe physical dimension. The contact dimension has pre-determined the test probe dimension.
    • Spring force. We could works with customer to select the spring force.

    Through our experience, we could even design the plastic housing for customer. In this case, customer will rest assure install the complete plastic housing into the tester without going through replacing individual pogo pin.

    Customs Made Test Probe

    As a test probe supplier, Maxwaytec Engineering doesn’t limited ourselves on those standard test probe, we are always welcome and perhaps we are prepare for tailor made test probe for our customer.

    With only a minimum quantity of 1000pcs of order, you could have your custom made test probe for your dedicate process. Most important, share with us your engineering drawing.

    Please do not hesitate to contact Maxwaytec Engineering. You are rest assure for having our support on getting our quality test probe or pogo pin product.
