Built on proven ESI technology, Allegro systems deliver high-speed, low-impact testing for every chip size and application.
From 01005 to 1210 sizes, Allegro™ systems ensure consistent, repeatable electrical testing across every line.
The Allegro™ MLCC Testing Systems—developed by ESI/MKS Instruments and now manufactured and sold exclusively by Pacific Trinetics Corporation (PTC)—define the benchmark for high-speed, high-reliability testing of multilayer ceramic capacitors.
Designed for seamless integration across R&D, pilot, and high-volume production, Allegro™ systems combine precise electrical measurement with high-throughput automation, delivering accurate and repeatable performance for today’s ultra-compact and high-capacitance MLCCs.
The Allegro™ series extends this performance across three specialized platforms, each optimized for a different segment of MLCC testing—ultra-compact, large-chip, and high-voltage devices.
All models share ESI’s proven rotary handling technology and measurement architecture to ensure consistent results, low contact wear, and maximum yield in demanding production environments.
Model | Application | Key Capability |
|---|---|---|
Compact | Ultra-small MLCCs | Highest throughput, smallest chip sizes (01005–0603) |
LC | Large-chip MLCCs | Optimized for high-capacitance testing (0603–1210) |
XP | High-voltage MLCCs | Extended voltage range up to 1 kV for advanced applications |
