What it is

The Branson 101-149-053 Gold Booster operates at a frequency of 20 kHz. The booster has a gain ratio of 1:1.5. The mounting thread is 1/2-20. The length of the booster is 5.4 inches.[2][3][1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

In an ultrasonic welding system, the booster is mounted between the converter and the horn. The converter transforms electrical energy into high-frequency mechanical vibration. The booster amplifies this vibration and transfers it to the horn, which applies the vibration to the workpiece. The booster is tuned to resonate at the operating frequency to maximize efficiency.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Branson 101-149-053 Gold Booster integrates into the ultrasonic stack of a packaging tool such as a wire bonder or die bonder. The booster is a component within the larger ultrasonic assembly that performs solid-state welding during semiconductor assembly.
