Unraveling the Benefits of microHELIX Test Probes

+ Unparalleled Contact Accuracy

Made in Washington state, the unique construction of our microHELIX probes enables tighter pitch, closer centers and reduced crosstalk (below that achieved with traditional spring loaded test probes), thereby ensuring precise electrical contact every time. With unparalleled placement precision, say goodbye to inconsistent readings and unreliable tests.

+ Superior Durability

These solderless probes are built to withstand the rigorous demands of semiconductor testing. While ensuring reliable contact in sockets, fixtures, and contactors, our fine pitch pogo pin probes can reach into the tightest center-to-center spacings - down to a tenth of an inch or a quarter of a millimeter (.010" or .254mm). Our microprobes are specifically engineered to meet the industry's stringent requirements. With robust materials and meticulous craftsmanship, our test probes provide long-lasting performance and reduce the need for frequent replacements.

+ Enhanced Testing Efficiency

Our micro sized test probes are designed to be used with a probe guide, eliminating the need for solder and simplifying the testing process. This convenient and efficient solution saves time and effort and allows seamless integration into your testing setup. Boost productivity and streamline your operations with our advanced testing solutions.

+ Flexible Adaptability

We understand the diverse requirements of our clients, which is why we offer a range of diameters in these spring loaded probes, the S200, S300, S400, and S500 series. The variety allows for seamless integration into sockets, fixtures, and contactors, catering to your specific testing setup - even those with challenging topographies - so you can achieve faster and more efficient in-circuit testing (ICT) and functional circuit testing (FCT)
