Description

TC-5901CU Pneumatic Shield Box Key Features

  • Reliable RF shielding from 0.1 GHz to 12 GHz
  • Pneumatic control of lid operation and optional automatic test fixture motions
  • EMI filters on all data ports and power lines
  • Remote operation by RS-232C
  • Modular I/O design for possible customization of data and RF interfaces
  • Fixture-control air outputs for custom test fixture
  • Red and green LED’s for pass/fail indication
  • Dual pressure control and lid down sensor for operator safety

Integrate a custom test fixture with the horizontal or vertical movement DUT handler to automate your testing in the Pneumatic Shield Box. Using a custom test fixture minimizes operator error and improves throughput  by improving consistent repeatability.  As everyone knows, time is money and if you can reduce false failures, it saves time and thereby increase throughput. Freeing up time allows your engineers to focus on other support tasks that require attention rather than troubleshooting false failures due to operator or equipment errors.

Ask one of our sales representative for a custom test fixture design made to your specifications and have it integrated into the TC-5901CU Pneumatic Shield Box for reliable test solution. Let us design the perfect test solution for you. Whatever your budget or timeline is, we can help you to meet your goals.

  • Each shielding effectiveness is measured when each I/O interface panel, which is shown above, is mounted.
  • Above data was measured by Tescom, The Shielding Effectiveness might be different based on the measuring method and condition.
  • This data has been measured under the condition that the cables are not connected to each filters. When the cables are connected it can affect the shielding performance.
