Description
Finger Clamps and Bridges are used in the Wedge Bonding process, which is also commonly known as Aluminium Bonding. Power devices, High Current devices and Chip-on-Board (COB) applications that have a high level of current passing through the die and lead fingers interconnect are candidates for Wedge Bonding.
Bridges are used to hold the Finger Clamps in place, while the Finger Clamps contact the leads of the leadframe for the Wedge Bonding process. The screw thread positions on the Bridges will be customized according to your leadframe and Finger Clamp design.
Oricus manufactures a wide range of Finger Clamps and Bridges to fit a wide range of machines from OEMs such as K&S, Palomar, F&K and more. Finger Clampsand Bridges are fully customizable to your leadframe design and application requirements.
Features
- Designed for your application to fit a wide range of different Wedge Bonding machines
- Each finger clamp is machined to exacting tolerances of positioning and flatness to minimize offset and clamping issues
- Materials used are carefully selected which provides the right level of hardness for holding the lead fingers and at the same time offering pliability and resilience to ensure the lead fingers do not crack when in use
- Finger Clamps and Bridges are designed to allow for micro adjustments to cater to variations in leadframe dimensions
Benefits
- Finger Clamps come in 2 or 3 layer stacks, depending on your leadframe and wire position
- Design offers uniform clamping forces to be applied throughout all the lead fingers to ensure stability and minimum float during bonding
- Application oriented design offers high yield, high productivity with minimum downtime
- Design team will study your package requirements and Wedge Bonder equipment to offer you a fuss-free tailormade solution
