Designed with Flexibility for Current and Future Requirements While Being Compatible with Past Generations

The LC-FLEX is a sophisticated burn-in with test system that is LC-2 compatible and features individual temperature control (ITC) for each device under test. Individual temperature control ensures that devices up to 50 watts are kept at an optimum temperature for stressing and testing during the burn-in cycle.

A unique feature of the LC-FLEX is its adaptability to other manufacturers’ burn-in boards or LC-2-style BIBs sized up to 24 inches x 24 inches (0.6 m x 0.6 m). This is accomplished through a custom adapter board that connects the burn-in board to the system electronics.

The LC-FLEX Was Designed to Be Compatible With Existing Burn-in Hardware

The LC-FLEX is compatible with the LC-2 burn-in boards that you already own. With the use of custom adapter boards, it runs existing LC-2 BIBs directly and supports other system burn-in boards and other manufacturers’ burn-in board types as well. The LC-FLEX protects your investment in existing hardware while gaining the dynamic burn-in with test capability expected from a Micro Control Company system.

The LC-FLEX is compatibility includes:

  • Existing LC-2 BIBs and regulators
  • Other system BIB types through adapter boards
  • Other manufacturers’ burn-in board designs through adapter boards
  • Custom regulator designs

The LC-FLEX results in a flexible path to modern burn-in with test that allows you to continue to use the boards and regulators already on your floor, reducing cost-of-test and shortening the move to your next generation of devices.
