Minimum possible installation dimensions and prohibited range

Board Design Rules

*The signal line width and GND through-hole position will vary according to the dielectric constant of the applied board of the customer.

• This product can be easily connected to the end of a Microstrip board or coplanar board in lieu of a horizontally welded coaxial connector.
• The board to be tested is placed on the GND block which moves up and down and is then inserted and attached to the GND.
• The central line of the tool with spring, is connected to the signal line on the board to be tested. Regarding the board ground, the surface side is the receiving GND and the rear side connects to the tool with the GND block.
• The central line of the tool of the coaxial structure is output by the inner parts of the jig, and can be connected to a coaxial cable.
• Applicable board thickness: maximum 2.0mm
• GND block pressing force: 3 kgf
• The width of the tool is the same as the dimensions of the connector.
  • Can even be used according to the connector arrangement, even for contiguous board specifications.
  • When using an orthogonal, please refer to the minimum possible installation dimensions listed on left.

• For improved work operations, the main body of the tool is installed with a slide rail.
• Even when the rail is fixed to the main body, the width is the same as the coaxial connector, namely 12.7 mm.
• The slide rail has a lock function to anchor the main body of the tool to the top of the rail.
• Since the main body of the tool can move forward and back alongside the slide rail, even for installation of the board to be measured or when the outer dimensions of each board vary slightly, the main body of the tool can be easily brought close to the board to be measured.
• If the front and back position of the tool can be determined, the main body on the rail is fixed by pulling the lever, and stable and continuous measurement is possible.
• It will become a single straight rail by adjusting the dovetail groove in front and back of the slide rail, and can be used for the measuring signal line allocated in the opposed position on the board to be measured.
• By using the dovetail grooves on side of the slide rail, each slide rail can be orthogonally connected to each other. The slide rail also slide to right and left along the side dovetail grooves. As a result, changes in the size of the measuring board can be handled by combining the slide rail and front and back slide of the tool main body on the rail, and even if several signal lines are allocated someplace on the side, the tool core line can be connected at a right angle.
• Please use the slide rail by attaching it to the anchored table (*Please prepare the anchor table on your own).

• Module or device on estimation board for testing
  • Inspection for product development
  • Reliability Test for Module
  • Sampling inspection of board

【PC-SMA】
Test Data for Reproducibility of Probe Connector	Test Data for Solder of SMA Connectorr
As shown in this graph, measurement data obtained by detaching and then reattaching the board to the probe connector, repeatedly for 10 times. This means that the inspection is carried out under the same environment as the reliability test for the module.	This data was obtained by soldering of the connector to the same board as that for reproducibility. The results vary depending on the connector and level of soldering proficiency.

■Giga Holder

Product No.: GK-HL10
Delivery: Same-day shipment upon confirmation of payment

Features

• Coaxial contactor used for making SMA connector horizontal at the edge of the board, instead of soldering, at the development/inspection with micro strip line board when product is developed
• The board is pressed against the core line of SMA connector.
• It could be connected to the edge of micro strip line board without soldering, and could be connected to the coaxial cable through SMA connector.
• 1-M4TAP at the bottom side of the body to be fixed to the jigs is available.
• The thickness of corresponding board is from 0.4 mm to 2.0 mm.
• Frequency range: 〜 10 GHz
  * The core line of Giga Holder horizontally sticks to the board line, so the property becomes steady and effective when it is used with fixed.

Use

• For the inspection with micro strip line board when product is developed
• For the receiving inspection with micro strip line board

* How to measure

• The board property was measured with SMA connector soldered at the one side of the evaluated board and Giga Holder held at the other side.
• Soldering data was obtained after the property data of Giga Holder was obtained and SMA connector was soldered on the same board.
