Gen3 upgrades SIR and CAF systems

12 August 2015 Test & Measurement Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Gen3 Systems has redesigned its line of surface installation resistance testers (AutoSIR) and conductive anodic filament monitoring testing system (AutoCAF).

Key new features of both the AutoSIR 2 and AutoCAF 2 include a measurement time for 256 channels of less than 8 seconds; applied voltage in the range of 1 V to 1000 V; measurement range of 106 Ω to 1014 Ω; continuous measurement on all selected tests; measurement test intervals fully selectable from a minimum of 1 minute; and the capability of testing to all existing test specifications IPC – IEC – JNC and other user specifications.

Unlike the original instruments, the use of switch relays is eliminated so that, when the test and measurement voltages are the same, truly continuous monitoring and measurements can be made. Each channel is current limited (1 M), ensuring that electro-chemical reactions (dendrites) are preserved for subsequent failure analysis. The frequent monitoring capability provides a full picture of the electro-chemical reactions taking place on a circuit assembly, and provides early trend analysis enabling tests to be curtailed.

Both the AutoSIR 2 and AutoCAF 2 systems are available with 64, 128 or 256 channel configurations.
