What it is

The Advantest M 6243 is a semiconductor test handler, classified under the Test & Probe equipment category.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Test handlers typically operate by picking devices from input trays, magazines, or tape-and-reel carriers and placing them into a test socket or contactor assembly. The handler aligns each device with precision contacts and then signals the tester to begin the electrical test sequence. After the test completes, the handler sorts the device into a pass bin, a fail bin, or a retest bin based on the test results.

The architecture of a handler includes a robotic or pneumatic pick-and-place mechanism, an indexing conveyor or turret, temperature control systems for hot/cold testing, and software for control and data logging. Advanced handlers may support multi-site testing, where several devices are tested simultaneously to improve throughput.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Some handlers are designed for specific device packages such as ball grid arrays (BGA), quad flat no-lead (QFN), or dual in-line packages (DIP). Others can be configured with change kits to accommodate a range of package types and sizes.
