Docking/ATE
VPC’s iDock Series features engageless frames for use with automatic test handling equipment to mate test adapters. Automatic docking connectors greatly reduce testing time and increase accuracy.
Automatic Docking Connectors
- Engageless frames for use with ATE to mate test adapters
- Ideal solution for production or manufacturing environments
- Minimize operator interaction/ reduces the opportunity for error
- Robust and reliable hybrid interface
- Reliable transmission options for signal, power, high current, high voltage, coax, high-speed data, and fiber optic
- Allows for consolidation of a variety of connection types into individual connector solutions
- Can be used for automatic docking or in a reliable frame format for rack and panel applications
- Floating bushings help to ensure a successful mate every time
Automation
After 60 years of expertise in the field of mass interconnect, VPC extended its portfolio with interface designs optimized for product test environments. The compact design of the iDock Series and the lack of an engaging mechanism makes it ideal for high-volume product test changeover. The iDock Series is rated for 200,000 cycles.
Partial Loading
Unlike many competitors, VPC’s frames can be reliably mated without every module being installed. In fact, the modules can be partially loaded and still function optimally. Using locator bosses, VPC’s module position tolerance is controlled in the receiver and ITA frame to ensure proper alignment without the excessive use of guide pins.
