Pylon Modules Applications for Stable Signal Contact Integrity

Pylon blocks are used as an internal interface. The integrated spring contact probes offer an effective signal transmission with low transfer resistances. This is only selected available signal blocks and further variants on request. Pylon is divided into several modules and each module has a distinct function. It makes the interface more user-friendly and assigns permissions much easier. Pylon interfaces are one of the oldest technologies whose demand is still intact for Mass Interconnect interfaces. Earlier the reliable interface solution used to include ICT test systems based on the standardized block. The block contains 170 Pylon test probes and a counter contact block inside each test fixture. Further Pylon Interfaces developed with complex and compact digital boards to meet the growing demands. It includes complex applications:

• Coaxial
• High power
• Signal contact
• Pneumatic
• Fiber optic applications

ITA Fixture Side

The interchangeable test adapter (ITA) is the main part of the Device under Test side of the mass interconnects the mechanical frame or encompassing the enclosure that contains the ITA modules. The contact that forms with the receiver transfers the system inputs and outputs to the Device under Test. For example, if you consider the receiver is the socket, the ITA is the plug. Here, we provide mixed pylon block with following specifications:

• Signal Contact: IC071 WR09
• Pneumatic Contact: PIC3150
• High-Current Contact: IC138 SR03

RCV System Side

The receiver is one of the core components of the test system side of the mass interconnect. It is a technique that helps in connecting multiple instruments simultaneously to the Device under Test. The receiver system includes the frame, receiver modules, mounting hardware, and the connections between receiver modules and instrumentation. Here, we provide mixed pylon blocks of following specifications:

• Signal Contact: IT1000 1ER03 S
• High-Current Contact: HCT1600 HK03 LX
• Socket / Receptacle: RCP066 WR06
• Socket / Receptacle: RCT118 SR05

Equip-test provides mass interconnect interface solutions. Pylon modules along with others include optimal alignment and a minimal guarantee on pin and socket design. All these are meant to set a long life cycle without degrading any signal contact integrity.
