Volpiano, Italy — SPEA has been selected by Bosch Automotive Group as its worldwide exclusive electronic board ICT tester and handler supplier until 2022. SPEA’s President and CEO, Luciano Bonaria, stated, “The role of electronics in automobiles is continuously growing. The car of the near future is expected to be equipped with many more electronic components than today, and even more ad- vanced. For this reason, worldwide leaders in automotive electronics, such as Bosch, require the highest test quality to reach the zero-defect-rate requested.” The SPEA 3030 Bed-of-Nails tester platform has been selected after an exhaus- tive benchmark evaluation which included: test accuracy, defect detection capa- bility, test and handling speed, cost of test, tester and handler integration, me- chanical precision for contacting small test pads, and software reliability, among others. The 303 In-line automatic tester has been chosen for the high-volume production of the most advanced electronic boards. The 3030 Compact manual
loading tester will be used for simpler PCBAs. Contact: SPEA America LLC, 2609 SSW Loop 323, Tyler, TX 75701
