  Features            

  • Pneumatic control for manual or semi-automatic operation

  • High RF shielding, > 80 dB

  • EMI filters on all data and DC lines

  • RS-232C open-close control

  • Safety protective cover (5942B and BC)

  • Customization to meet various data and RF connection requirements

  • Easy-to-exchange customized fixtures

  • Red and Green LED for the pass/fail indication

  • CE compliant. EN 50081-1, EN 50082-2 and EN 60950 (TC-5942BC)

  Customization   

Target devices: mobile phones, PCBs and similar devices

Customizable signal connections:

     Device control data

     Analog/digital probe signals on a PCB under test

     Tx/Rx signals

     RF probe signal

     OTA RF coupling

     SIM card and DC power connection

     Acoustic coupling (depending on shape of mobile phone)

  Lid Operation   
  •     Long Life. Typically 1,000,000 open/close cycle

  •    Ability to control lid opening and closing speed

  •    Lid opens when the compressed air is connected or power is turned on

  •    Build-in electronics open/close counter,  able to read the number of times by control PC

  •    Lid moves downward at the air pressure of 1.5 bar (kg/cm2) or less until the lid is 5 mm above bottom plate (Option 70).

  DUT Handler and Fixture Customization   

 

Typically, every device has a unique outline and connection configuration requiring unique handler and fixture customization to move DUT in and out of the cell and make data/RF connections, and to move probe pins or connectors up and down for signal probing.
