86 GHz elastomer socket targets QFN3 prototype, test applications

March 10, 2026 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

Ironwood Electronics has released a new 86GHz elastomer socket for QFN3 devices, using gold-plated embedded-wire elastomer contact technology with 0.06nH self-inductance, 2A current capacity per contact, and contact resistance below 0.05 ohms. The swivel-lid ZIF socket operates from -35°C to +125°C and targets prototype and test applications for RF, wireless, and high-speed digital ICs in QFN3 packages.
