Description

AMG Test Engineering 500 ResBox ESD Safe MR Head Resistance Switcher HDD

Benchtop test module designed for automated resistance measurement and characterization of magnetoresistive (MR) hard disk drive heads. Routes and measures MR head resistance values during HDD head testing and validation workflows.

Specifications & What's Included

  • Model: 500 ResBox | MPN: 500 ResBox
  • Type: MR Head Resistance Switcher with automated control
  • ESD safe design
  • Front panel ribbon cable header connector for head connection
  • Rear D-Sub control interface
  • LED indicators: MR resistance, coil resistance, suspension shorts, MR to coil short, MR to coil redep, redep voltage, head safe modes, and head selection status
  • Includes head test fixture board and ribbon cable harness
  • Made in USA

Applications

Used in HDD manufacturing and R&D environments for automated characterization and validation of MR read head performance. Integrates into test stations for measuring head resistance parameters, detecting shorts and defects, and validating head functionality before drive assembly. Commonly deployed in hard disk drive production facilities and engineering labs through the 2000s-2010s era of MR and GMR head technology development.

Condition: Used
This AMG Test Engineering Model 500 ResBox ESD Safe MR Head Resistance Switcher has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The main control unit, attached head test fixture board, and ribbon cable harness are all present and visually intact. The front panel LED indicators and labeling are clean and legible.
