K&S Wire Bonder iconnplus link 08888-0164

This item is a LINK assembly for the K&S iCONN Plus high-speed wire bonder (part number 08888-0164; includes sub-components 08890-0064 and 08890-0764). It facilitates signal transmission between the bonding head and the main control/drive units. Utilizing a flexible ribbon cable structure, it moves back and forth at high speeds along with the bonding head, ensuring the stable delivery of ultrasonic, encoder, sensor, and drive signals. Damage to the cable—such as creases, compromised shielding, or oxidized terminals—typically manifests as bonding position offsets, unstable ultrasonic energy, lost steps, or intermittent, random error alarms. As such, it is a high-wear component in these high-throughput machines.
