KELVIN
Contacts and Kelvin Test Sockets, Burn-in Sockets, DC-DC Converters
and Power Converters, targeting High Current/High Power test needs,
availability: Pogo Pin, Surface Mount, SIP, LIF, Ball, Lead, Through
Hole, CAD services, virtual models, test device, fix limitations,
prototyping.
TOOLTRONICS sports
a skilled design team with over 90 years cumulative experience,
using state-of-the-art design tools.
We offer
a complete range of CAD services.
Our skilled
personnel will turn your ideas or 2D data into virtual models,
modify or solve existing test device limitations, as well as prepare
data for prototyping or production. (Software used: AUTOCAD2000
& SolidWorks.)
Speed of
test, ergonomics and safety are our primary considerations.

Our Services
include the design, creation and use of KELVIN Contacts and Kelvin
Test Sockets, Burn-in Sockets, DC-DC Converters and Power Converters,
targeting High Current/High Power test needs, availability: Pogo
Pin, Surface Mount, SIP, LIF, Ball, Lead, Through Hole, CAD services,
virtual models, test device, fix limitations.
Test Socket Construction
Most contacts are custom designed and made from Beryllium Copper,
heat treated to spring temper and plated with gold over nickel
boron. The body of the socket, or insulator, is CNC machined from
P-1700 Polysulfone or Torlon. An optional Device Ejection feature
is available.
NOTE: We've
developed our own powerful design for low to high current Kelvin
Contacts. Our contacts have an impressively low fail-rate.
Test
Fixture Construction
We interview test engineers to determine test points,
preferred connectivity and special features.
Test Fixtures
are built with speed of test, ergonomics and safety as the primary
considerations.

Post-production:
We service and
fine-tune all KELVIN Contacts and Kelvin Test Sockets, Burn-in
Sockets, for DC-DC Converters and Power Converters, targeting
High Current/High Power test needs, especially: Pogo Pin, Surface
Mount, SIP, LIF, Ball, Lead, Through Hole, test device, fix limitations.
One
of the core aspects of TOOLTRONICS' services is Post-production
Tuning.
We
actively seek out ongoing input from our customers. We use your
feedback to constantly make improvements to your product.
For
example . . .
In one case, the product evolution was so significant
that the test engineer working with us on the project wrote up
a report on the process.
After
internal publication, our customer received a promotion from the
Fortune 500 company he works for, based on his write up.
Final
Analysis
Our work on your product doesn't end at delivery.
