What it is

The West Bond 2426 B is a semi-automatic wire bonder used in semiconductor packaging.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A semi-automatic wire bonder uses a bonding head that descends to place a wire loop between the die bond pad and the package lead. The bond is formed by a combination of heat, pressure, and ultrasonic vibrations, a process known as thermosonic bonding. The operator manually aligns the bond head over each target location before the machine executes the bond.
