However, for modern applications, a traditional three-piece \u201cplunger-spring-barrel\u201d design may just not be adequate to perform the test. Many of the modern test probes are much more complex than those from the early days, and the application range is much broader. Some probes consist of up to thirty and sometimes even more individual components. In this presentation, we first look at the history of probes and the basic design. We then take the audience on a journey how the designs have evolved and how to use these parts for a variety of tasks, which includes \u201cconventional\u201d circuit board test but also wire harness test, RF&Wireless test on test points as well as connectors, battery test on cell, module and pack level and even quantum computing applications. However, even the most sophisticated probe cannot be used \u201cstandalone\u201d to perform a test; it needs a jig or a fixture to hold the parts in place. Therefore, we also look at state-of-the art modular test fixture designs and how the parts are integrated in there. While many engineers who regularly attend TestConX maybe familiar with \u201csmaller\u201d form factor probes (such as those used for socket test), this presentation gives an interesting insight in test solutions for those \u201clarger\u201d DUTs. Whereas most presentations at TestConX were for solutions of 0.35 mm pitch and below, we take it in the opposite direction and present technologies with spacings up to several centimeters (for example for battery or high-current test). We conclude the presentation with an outlook on \u201cwhat\u2019s next\u201d on the horizon for test probe technologies.<\/p>\r\n<\/p><\/details>\n<a href=\"\/premium\/welcome\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-129\" title=\"Click here to subscribe to PREMIUM content\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/premium-video-non-subscriber.png\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.testconx.org\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/premium-video-non-subscriber.png 480w, https:\/\/www.testconx.org\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/premium-video-non-subscriber-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div><a href=\"\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/TestConX2025s1p1Zapatka_3728.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-70\" alt=\"PDF-Icon 150x139\" src=\"\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/PDF-Icon-150x139.png\" width=\"75\" height=\"70\" \/><\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/TestConX2025s1p1Zapatka_3728.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" \/>Presentation Download<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"presentation\">\n<div class=\"presentationTitle\">\n&ldquo;A Contact Remembers: Property Changes after Pulse Current Loading&rdquo; \n<\/div>\n<div class=\"authorList\">\n   <div class=\"author\">\n      <div class=\"authorName\">\nGert Hohenwarter\n      <\/div>\n\t    <div class=\"authorCompany\">\nGateWave Northern Inc.\n\t    <\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<details class=\"summaryDetail\">\n\t<summary class=\"summaryLine\">Abstract (English)<\/summary>\n<p><p>Observations during contact testing show changes in properties such as current carrying capability after high current loading and\/or mechanical actuation.

With the increasing thermal power of IC chips, there is growing interest in the CCC of contact probes. However, accurately measuring the CCC of spring probes and other contacts in real-world conditions presents significant challenges. Several factors can significantly impact CCC data measurements, such as:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Steady vs. pulse currents<\/li>\r\n<li>Probes in still air vs. air with a specific flow rate<\/li>\r\n<li>Probes with or without socket material surrounding them<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>This paper will present heat transfer fundamental of current going through contacts, CCC measurements under various conditions, including both steady and pulse currents. Given the complexities involved in testing CCC under different factors, thermal simulations were employed to calculate the CCC of probes in diverse setups. The results from both measurements and simulations align closely, demonstrating the feasibility of using thermal simulation methods to predict the CCC of spring probes and other contacts across different operating environments. The paper provides detailed insights into the underlying thermal transfer principles, as well as the testing and simulation results.<\/p>\r\n<\/p><\/details>\n<a href=\"\/premium\/welcome\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-129\" title=\"Click here to subscribe to PREMIUM content\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/premium-video-non-subscriber.png\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.testconx.org\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/premium-video-non-subscriber.png 480w, https:\/\/www.testconx.org\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/premium-video-non-subscriber-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div><a href=\"\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/TestConX2025s1p3Zhou_7723.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-70\" alt=\"PDF-Icon 150x139\" src=\"\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/PDF-Icon-150x139.png\" width=\"75\" height=\"70\" \/><\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/TestConX2025s1p3Zhou_7723.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" \/>Presentation Download<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"presentation\">\n<div class=\"presentationTitle\">\n&ldquo;Advanced CO2 Spray Technologies and their Effectiveness for IC Socket Cleaning Applications&rdquo; \n<\/div>\n<div class=\"authorList\">\n   <div class=\"author\">\n      <div class=\"authorName\">\nNelson Sorbo\n      <\/div>\n\t    <div class=\"authorCompany\">\nCool Clean Technologies LLC\n\t    <\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<details class=\"summaryDetail\">\n\t<summary class=\"summaryLine\">Abstract (English)<\/summary>\n<p><p>This presentation presents a review of the developments of CO2 spray technology and how these improvements and enable new substrate cleaning options.<\/p>\r\n<\/p><\/details>\n<a href=\"\/premium\/welcome\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-129\" title=\"Click here to subscribe to PREMIUM content\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/premium-video-non-subscriber.png\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.testconx.org\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/premium-video-non-subscriber.png 480w, https:\/\/www.testconx.org\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/premium-video-non-subscriber-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div><a href=\"\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/TestConX2025s1p4Sorbo_1192.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-70\" alt=\"PDF-Icon 150x139\" src=\"\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/PDF-Icon-150x139.png\" width=\"75\" height=\"70\" \/><\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/TestConX2025s1p4Sorbo_1192.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" \/>Presentation Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t \n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-container max width e7386-e65 m5p6-6\"><div class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-4 e7386-e66 m5p6-8\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e7386-e67 m5p6-o m5p6-q m5p6-r m5p6-s\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h1 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">12:30 p<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-column x-sm x-3-4 e7386-e68 m5p6-8\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e7386-e69 m5p6-o m5p6-r m5p6-s m5p6-t\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Lunch<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-content-area e7386-e70 m5p6-d\"><p>Lunch is served.

Different grounding strategies can lead to variations in impedance and signal loss. Our research investigates various grounding configurations and their impact on key performance metrics such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), transmission range, and data throughput.\r\nWe conducted a series of simulations to evaluate the effects of grounding locations in different RF configurations. The results reveal significant differences in RF performance based on grounding strategies, with certain configurations offering substantial improvements in specific scenarios. \r\nIn this presentation, we will discuss:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Theoretical background on grounding and its role in RF systems.<\/li>\r\n<li>Simulation setup and methodologies used to assess RF performance<\/li>\r\n<li>Comparative analysis of various grounding locations and their impact on performance metrics.<\/li>\r\n<li>Case studies highlighting successful implementations<\/li>\r\n<li>Recommendations for optimizing grounding practices in diverse RF applications.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>By understanding the interplay between grounding locations and RF performance, professionals in the field can make more informed decisions to improve the efficiency and reliability of their communication systems.

This has created a corresponding increase in PCB microwave and millimeter wave performance requirements. This increase in required PCB performance speed makes VNA measurements of PCBs more critical. These measurements also require connectors or probes and cables for the connection of the PCB to the VNA.\r\nOne such requirement is the need to test BGA feedback loops for 224 Gbps PAM4 data rates with a Nyquist frequency of 56 GHz. This PCB level testing can be done using a VNA to make insertion loss measurements through 56 GHz.

We will layout the limits of what we can achieve using each strategy with each and set realistic performance goals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>We also must expand the scope of our discussion to include sockets, loop back circuits, and testing methodologies in order to provide a complete solution.<\/p>\r\n<\/p><p><\/p><\/details>\n<a href=\"\/premium\/welcome\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-129\" title=\"Click here to subscribe to PREMIUM content\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/premium-video-non-subscriber.png\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.testconx.org\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/premium-video-non-subscriber.png 480w, https:\/\/www.testconx.org\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/premium-video-non-subscriber-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div><a href=\"\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/TestConX2025s3p4Thompson_4562.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-70\" alt=\"PDF-Icon 150x139\" src=\"\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/PDF-Icon-150x139.png\" width=\"75\" height=\"70\" \/><\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"\/premium\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/TestConX2025s3p4Thompson_4562.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" \/>Presentation Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t \n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-container max width e7386-e87 m5p6-6\"><div class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-4 e7386-e88 m5p6-8\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e7386-e89 m5p6-o m5p6-q m5p6-r m5p6-s\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h1 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">6:00 p<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-column x-sm x-3-4 e7386-e90 m5p6-8\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e7386-e91 m5p6-o m5p6-r m5p6-s m5p6-t\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">TestConX EXPO & Reception<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-content-area e7386-e92 m5p6-d\"><p>The TestConX EXPO is a very popular part of the TestConX program with many great exhibits for <em>connecting electronic test professionals to solutions<\/em>.
