Products

The SCOUT PXI interconnect solution designed to maximise performance potential of the PXI platform at the ATE interface. The device features DAK (Direct Access Kit) connectivity, enabling system designers to limit or eliminate traditional instrument cables by replacing them with DAK connection modules that utilize PCB, flex-circuit, or short-wire connections.
The SCOUT Express offers users unprecedented scalability through its highly configurable modular design. The interface can be completely modified to suit various applications with minimal system design. This brings true system scalability to the factory floor as never seen before in ATE systems. Image
The APEX connectors are designed to provide optimum performance in small I/O test and measurement applications. Compared to the typical molded plastic alternatives their modules are strong, stable, and perform tasks more efficintly. Their aluminum backshells are designed to withstand the harsh enviromants of real-life applications. APEX offers a variety of configurations, offering HD signal, coax, and power options. Image
The TITAN Traditional Mass Interconnect sets the standard for performance, configuration modularity, and long-term reliability. It has been designed to offer exceptional configuration flexibility for use with any ATE platform and offers unparalleled I/O density coupled with a selection of contact types available. The TITAN comes in a variety of sizes to accommodate most test-type architectures and modules that support a wide variety of signal types including HD signal, power, coax, and pneumatic. Image
CTI came about as a result of a DOD initiative to develop an Automated Test System (ATS) hardware/fixture interface that would standardize the footprint and assure mechanical and electrical interoperability between past and future ATS. It consists of a core unit of 4 slots up to 26 slots in a combination of 4 – 4 – 14 – 4 segments.
CTI Features:
  • Conforms to IEEE 1505.1 Specification
  • Scalable from 4 to 26 Slots
  • Power up to 23 amps, Signal up to 3 amps and Micro-Coax to 3 GHz
