PF20 bonding needles are normally used in Manual Thermocompression
Bonders. They are mainly used in microwave applications where the bonding
pads are too small to permit normal Ball and Stitch Bonding Techniques.
Normally the wire is first positioned over the bonding pad area and then the
bonding needle is used to make the bond. Wire diameters of .0010"/25µm
or less are normally used in this application.
