Overview
The Flash Handler is a compact and cost-effective solution compatible with various electronic test technologies for PCB assembly and demanding testing applications.
It is designed to meet specific requirements for In-System Programming (ISP), supporting a wide range of PCB dimensions and providing future expandability.
Additionally, the Flash Handler offers high handling speeds, along with a quick and easy setup process for a smooth and continuous product changeover. These handlers can be connected in a serial line enabling an In-Line system configuration with other handlers.
