GAISER CAPILLARY INFORMATION

Figure 27. The straight 120° I.C. angle capillary provides the sharpest transition from the I.C. to the hole. The sharp edge that is created can cause considerable drag which can cause sagging or wavy wire.  

Figure 28. The straight 90°I.C. angle capillary does not have as sharp at a transition as the straight 120° I.C. angle style. This allows for less drag on the wire and therefore gives better looping. 

Figure 29. The 120° double I.C. angle capillary consists of a 120° and 80° angle as shown above. The 80° angle provides a smooth transition into the hole for improved looping. The 120° angle produces strong tail bonds and higher ball shear strengths. 

Figure 30. The 90° double I.C. angle capillary consists of 90° and 50° angles as shown above. The 50° I.C. angle provides a smooth transition into the hold for good looping. The 90° angle forms a taller, more compact ball bond and provides good tailing. 

Figure 31. The 120° radiused inside chamfer design provides excellent looping characteristics and wire control. This design is often preferred for high speed, low loop, long loop, and spider leg applications. 

Figure 32. Most low loop bonds, (0.006in./152µm) or less, are bonded with a capillary that has a radiused inside chamfer. Using 0.001in./25µm wire, these loops are 0.0052in./132µm high and spanned an average length of 0.138in./3.5mm.

Figure 33. The fine pitch (0.0045in./114µm) application pictured here has loops commonly called spider legs. Spider leg loops vary in their shape and length as well as height depending on the application. This 160 lead Quad Flat Pack has the die pads located 0.059in./1.5mm from the edge of the die.
