Test Head Cables
for the LTX / 77 Series Test Systems

Specifications, Features, & Model Numbers:

Wiring:
Signal lines utilize a high quality, multi-strand, PVC-coated wire. This wire is designed for high flexibility applications, and is manufactured to Mil-Spec MIL-W-16878-1.

The following signal lines utilize a Teflon-insulated, coax-shielded wire, manufactured to Mil-Spec MIL-C-17F:
• Audio Voltmeter
• Audio Source
• Audio Source Warp Lines
• DZ
• Waveform Simulator

Cable Lengths:
Test Head Cables are available in two standard lengths:
• 6 foot cable length (1.83 meters).
• 8 foot cable length (2.44 meters).
• Custom cables can be manufactured to meet specific requirements or lengths.

Universal Test Head “A” Cable:
Universal Test Head “A” Cables can be used on either the TS80 or TS88 Test Station.

Contact Pins & Connectors:
ITT Cannon high quality contact pins are used with ITT Cannon Zero Insertion Force Connectors. The contact pins are coated with heavy gold plate (50 micro-inches) over heavy nickel plate (50 micro-inches). This provides consistent contact integrity as well as long insertion life.

Cable Sleeve:
The cable sleeve harness is comprised of a highly flexible, nylon-braided hose. A strain at the connector assembly point protects and supports the harness assembly.

Cable Weight:
A 156 pin “A or B” cable weighs less than three pounds, a 50 percent reduction compared to competitive models. Its lightweight, flexible design greatly reduces system bulkhead wear, and facilitates hardware interconnect to overhead probes, test handlers, and LTX extension units.

Cable Identification:
All cables are labeled at each end so that the tester side and fixture side can be easily identified during hardware setups. The label also includes the part number, serial number, and system type

Cable Maintenance:
The cables are designed to provide consistent long-term performance. In the event that a contact pin became bent or broken, in-house technical staff can exchange a replacement pin quickly and easily.
