multiLane AT93000-64150 High-Speed ATE solution Installation Guide

multiLane AT93000-64150 High-Speed ATE solution

Product Information

The product is a loadboard assembly used with the Multilane high-speed ATE solution and the Advantest V93000 testhead. There are two types of loadboard assemblies available: Final Test Loadboard Assembly (64150) and Wafer Test Loadboard Assembly (64170). The loadboard assembly includes a DIB, a stiffener, blindmate connectors, and high-speed coax cables. The POGO blindmate connectors can be assembled in any combination, with anywhere from 1 to 4 POGO blindmate connectors attached to the loadboard stiffener. The loadboard stiffener AT93000-64170 is used for wafer sort loadboard applications, and the AT93000-64150 is used for final test loadboard applications.

Product Usage Instructions

1. To assemble the leaderboard, use the set of DXF files available for PCB loadboard layout. Information can be found on Advantest TDC website, TDC#345757.
2. Attach 1 to 4 POGO blindmate connectors to the loadboard stiffener based on your application type.
3. Orient the AT93000-POGO connectors by using the engravings and keying. The guide pins only allow 1 orientation of the POGO connectors when attached to the loadboard stiffeners.
4. Install the SMPM cable connectors to the POGO blindmate connectors using 4mm wire nuts and a SMPM socket tool tightener from Multilane, p/n AT93000-SMPM-TOOL.
   • Remove the 4 mm wire nut from the cable before installing it into the POGO.
   • Install the cable into the hole carefully without touching the pin.
   • Install the 4 mm wire nut over the cable that is protruding through the POGO.
   • Hold the cable from the black heat shrink.
   • Tighten the wire nut using the AT93000-SMPM-TOOL. Do not overtighten.
5. The finished product example includes DIB, stiffener, blindmate connectors, and high-speed coax cables. The product can be mounted to a twinning frame using a custom loadboard bracket for MultiLane blindmate cables.

SUMMARY

This manual provides information to help with assembling loadboards used with the Multilane high-speed ATE solution and the Advantest V93000 testhead. It will discuss

• Customer device interface board (DIB)
• Loadboard stiffener (wafer sort and final test versions)
• Blindmate Connectors
• Cabling

DIB

For final test loadboard PCB designers, a set of DXF files are available to help with PCB loadboard layout. Information can be found on Advantest TDC website, TDC#345757. Similar information can be found for wafer test loadboard PCB designers.

AT93000-POGO and AT93000-64170
The POGO blindmate connectors can be assembled in any combination. Anywhere from 1 to 4 POGO blindmate connectors can be attached to the loadboard stiffener. For wafer sort loadboard applications, use loadboard stiffener AT93000-64170. For final test loadboard applications, use AT93000-64150.

Customer Documentation
The loadboard assembler will need to keep record of which POGO blindmate connector locations need to be populated, as well as information on how to properly cable from the DIB to the blindmates. There are arrows on the loadboard stiffener that can be used to orient what is “UP”. Also, the cassette locations in the twinning frame are consistently enumerated as Cassette #1, #2, #3, #4 throughout Multilane documentation. The following figures shows the orientation of the loadboard blindmates to the twinning frame’s cassette locations when the loadboard is docked to the Multilane twinning frame. C1 refers to Cassette #1, etc.

Orienting the Blindmate Connectors

The AT93000-POGO connectors have pin 1-16 engravings and are keyed. The assembler may choose to use these engravings to help with assembly documentation. The guide pins only allow 1 orientation of the POGO connectors when attached to the loadboard stiffeners.

Wiring to the Blindmate Connectors

The SMPM cable connectors are fastened to the POGO blindmate connectors using 4mm wire nuts and a SMPM socket tool tightener from Multilane, p/n AT93000 -SMPM-TOOL

Steps for installing each cable into the POGO:

1. Remove the 4 mm wire nut from the cable before installing the cable into the POGO
2. Install the cable into the hole carefully without touching the pin, it is fragile and easy to break
3. Install the 4 mm wire nut over the cable that is protruding through the POGO
4. Hold the cable from the black heat shrink
5. Tighten the wire nut using the AT93000-SMPM-TOOL. Do not overtighten.

Finished Product Example

The finished product includes DIB, stiffener, blindmate connectors, high-speed coax cables
