Tektronix SMK4 - Adapter Micro-grabbers Surface Mount Device Interconnects

Surface Mount Device Probing and Interconnects

The increasing use of surface mount technology (SMT) brings many benefits to electronic circuit board (ECB) design and manufacture. Among these are increased circuit density, increased product reliability and lower assembly costs.

Troubleshooting and device interconnection, however, have become more difficult due to decreased device size, tighter lead spacing and increased ECB densities. Tektronix offering of the following SMT probing and interconnect devices meets these demanding requirements.

SMK4 Micro KlipChip Adapter

The SMK4 is an interface device that can attach to fine-pitch IC leads similar to the SMG50. The difference between the SMK4 and the SMG50 is the size. The SMK4 can be used to attach to PQFP packages up to a pitch of 0.5 mm which is five times smaller than the SMG50.

The kit of four 0.5 mm SMK4 Micro KlipChip Adapters is for use as probe tip accessory replacements with the P6247/P6246 and as a recommended accessory for the probes listed below, which can attach to the SMK4 0.025 in. lead.
