5500B MCF Three Pole Plating System

  • Three Pole, Monolithic Crystal Filter final frequency adjust plating system
  • Plates three resonators and two coupling areas to user specified targets
  • Measured parameters are checked against easy to define Q.C. limits after each filter is plated
  • Measurement data may immediately be stored and/or printed
  • Surface mount devices held in component tray or customer specified pallet array
  • The component area is customized to precise device size requirements
  • Proprietary measurement technique
  • Does not require a variable inductor
  • Precise X-Y table positioning

SPECIFICATIONS

Frequency Range: 10 MHz to 200 MHz
