value with the T-2500SE precision temperature forcing system. Designed with speed, accuracy and reliability as
essential design criteria, the T-2500SE provides the most advanced temperature testing capability available.
The system transitions air temperature between +125C and -55C in as little as 4 seconds and has a wide
temperature range of -90C to +225C; encompassing the requirements of both production and engineering
environments. Field-proven, single-stage mechanical refrigeration eliminates the need for liquid nitrogen or any
other consumable refrigerants.
Intelligent Touch-Screen Interface
An intelligently designed, multi-color touchscreen makes the system easy to set up and
operate. The temperature setpoint, air temperature, DUT (device under test) temperature, airflow rate, and current system status
display continuously facilitating instant statusing. A variety of menus enable the operator to change parameters by touching the
desired selections. In addition, a password
protection feature makes it possible for the
test engineer to determine operator accessibility to key software segments.
Sophisticated Temperature Cycling
Complex temperature profiles are easily set up
on the touch screen. Temperature profiles can
be saved and recalled for use or exported to
3.5" diskette. Data entered can be as simple as
two temperatures and soak times, or as complex as a 99-step cycle - each with a unique
temperature, soak time, or ramp rate. The
T-2500SE may be used for temperature cycling
per MIL STD-883C for thermal stressing of
semiconductor devices.

Precise Temperature Control
A patented, proprietary temperature control algorithm provides the most accelerated and precise temperature control of any available temperature forcing system. Physical integration to the DUT is accomplished with the interface kit which includes thermal
caps and a shroud assembly. Coupled with the system’s high airflow - and cold boost feature, test temperatures are achieved efficiently and economically; making the T-2500SE the optimal system for testing semiconductor packages, hybrids, modules, MCMs,
PCBs, and small subassemblies. Examples of typical semiconductor packages that the system can accommodate include PLCC,
DIP, LCC, PGA, SOP, QFP, and others. Custom thermal fixtures are available to provide a controlled temperature environment for
testing larger modules.
Full ATE Compatibility
Remote operation of the system is accomplished with RS-232C and IEEE-488.2 interfaces. A library of remote communication
commands enable easy configuration, monitoring, and actuation of critical setup and operating parameters; such as temperature set points
and soak times; from any remote computer or
terminal. A standard ATE interface providing
start test, end of test, and class signals is provided to assure full ATE compatibility which
includes the ability to communicate with all
main ATE and Rack and Stack test systems.
Easy PM and Calibration
Thermonics’ Precision Temperature Forcing Systems
are field proven for durability, performance and reliability. The system can be relied upon for use in
around-the-clock production environments.
Maximum up time is achieved with a modular design
that promotes quick and easy implementation of preventive maintenance activities. Calibration of the system is facilitated by a series of software screens that
guide you through the procedure in a systematic
manner. In addition, diagnostics screens that report
system malfunctions in an easy to understand format
assist with servicing of the system.

Optional Systems
T-2500E provides a lower cost solution with an
economical, easily-adjusted arm. The system
has a temperature range of -80C to +225C, and
air temperature transitions between +125C and
-55C in 10 seconds. Vertical motion of the arm
is motorized and horizontal motion is manual.
T-2500BE replaces the arm with a basic output hose. This system is ideal for use in applications that incorporate the use of custom test
fixtures.
Models T-2500IX and T-2500IX/M, which can
achieve cold temperatures of -100C and -130C,
respectively, are ideal for test applications that
require extremely low temperatures.
The T-2500IX/M uses uses liquid nitrogen to
facilitate cooling and is an optimal solution for
large power dissipating devices in the 50 to
100W range.
Efficient Air Dryer
To ensure the use of clean, dry air a built-in air
dryer removes water vapor and particles from
the compressed air source. This heatless air
dryer lowers the dew point of the source air to
approximately -80C.
World-Wide Service and Support
Service is available around the world. Whether
you’re the U.S.A., Asia, or Europe, your system
can be serviced quickly and efficiently by a
qualified technician. Telephone support is
always available from the factory.
CE Certification
For use in Europe, CE certification is provided.
Conductive Thermal Caps
High Productivity
The wide temperature range of -90C to +225C,
in conjunction with the rapid transition rate,
can quickly and accurately bring devices to test
temperature.
Optional LN
injection can further increase
2
productivity when testing large devices at
extreme low temperatures.
DUT Sensor
The case temperature of the DUT can be determined with the use of the DUT sensor (K-type
or T-type). This feature makes it possible to control the temperature of the DUT to within
±
1C
of the desired temperature setpoint. In addition,
an advanced temperature control algorithm
assures the DUT is stabilized at temperature
quickly.
Thorough Documentation
Comprehensive, easy to read Users and
Maintenance Manuals are provided with the
T-2500SE. These manuals provide information
on operation of the system, routine preventive
maintenance, and service.

Fully-Motorized Arm
ESD Protection
Grounding of all surfaces and air pathways prevents the development
of electro-static discharge (ESD) which can damage sensitive semiconductor components.
Integrated Thermal Test Head and
Motorized Arm
Provides a strong support for adapting the
thermal test head to the DUT. The positive
action, quick adjust arm has several degrees of
freedom that enable it to be positioned in a
wide range of horizontal and vertical positions.
The combination of electro-mechanical and
pneumatic action of this assembly ensures precise, stable and repeatable placement of the
thermal fixture over the DUT. Heated purge air
is provided to keep the test interface free of
frost or moisture when operating at cold temperatures. Ambient purge air prevents overheating of test electronics when testing at hot temperatures.
Optional Air Ionizer
ESD protection can be further enhanced by inclusion of the optional
air ionizer. The ionizer provides an ion balance that prevents a charge
from developing in the air stream and removes charges from non-conductive surfaces. Conductive silicon rubber thermal caps and insulation sheets are also available.
On-Screen Graphics
Numerical representations of the DUT, air and
set-point temperatures continuously display. A
screen that presents the data in graphical form
similar to a chart recorder is provided at the
touch of a key. Logged data can be stored and
recalled.
