The GT-BGA-2164 socket is designed for a 23×23-mm package size and operates at bandwidths up to 94 GHz with less than 1 dB of insertion loss. The socket is designed with a screw-down lid and […]
High-temperature spring-pin sockets handle LGA464 packages
A new LGA socket addresses high-performance requirements for 1.5-mm-pitch LGA464 packages. The CBT-LGA-5037 socket’s contactor is a stamped-spring pin with 19-gm actuation force/pin and cycle life of 125,000 insertions. The self-inductance of the contactor is 0.93 nH, insertion loss is < 1 dB at 23 GHz, and capacitance is 0.097 pF. The current capacity of […]
IC sockets handle smaller-footprint BGA-154b packages
New socket technology addresses newer smaller footprint devices released in the Open NAND Flash Interface (ONFi) 5.0 specification. The Grypper socket is surface-mounted using standard soldering methods to the same location on the PCB. The Grypper requires no lid; the device simply snaps into the socket. Because the Grypper contacts are only 1.5 to 2.2-mm […]
Socket for LGA1156 packages handles extreme temperatures, provides superior electrical performance
A new LGA socket addresses high-performance requirements for 1-mm-pitch LGA1156 devices. The CBT-LGA-5036 contains a contactor that is a stamped spring pin with 19-gm actuation force per pin and features a cycle life of 125,000 insertions. The self-inductance of the contactor is 0.93 nH, insertion loss is less than 1 dB at 23 GHz, and […]
Sockets for LGA255 packages handle 94 GHz frequencies
A new LGA socket design uses a high-performance elastomer capable of 94 GHz and sports a low inductance for test applications. The GTP-LGA-1003 socket is designed for a 17×17-mm package size, 16×16 array, 1-mm-pitch and operates at bandwidths up to 94 GHz with less than 1 dB of insertion loss. The contact resistance is typically […]
Double-latch open-top sockets handle QFP208 chip packages
A new stamped-spring pin socket addresses high performance requirements for testing 208- lead Quad flat pack packages. The CBT-QFE-3028 socket contains a contactor with a stamped-spring pin construction with a 17-gm actuation force per ball and cycle life of 10,000+ insertions. The self-inductance of the contactor is 0.88 nH, insertion loss < 1 dB at […]
SMT PCB sockets handle 6 A
The Sycamore Contact 6-A current-rated surface-mount PCB sockets allow engineers to accommodate different designs, placing individual sockets freely on a board without the constraint of connector housings. Two additions complement the existing 3.87-mm-length sockets, which accept 0.8-1.3 mm or 1.5-1.9 mm mating pins. These new versions have longer body lengths of 5.87 mm, which means […]
27-GHz bandwidth socket handles Intel Atom processor E6xx series
A new high-performance BGA socket handles 0.8-mm interstitial pitch BGA 676 ball devices. The SG-BGA-6513 socket is designed for a Intel’s Atom processor and operates at bandwidths up to 27 GHz with less than 1 dB of insertion loss. The sockets are designed to dissipate up to several watts without extra heat sinking and can […]
Clamshell 94-GHz sockets handle BGA484 packages
A new BGA socket design uses high-performance elastomer capable of 94 GHz, low inductance and wide temperature applications. The GT-BGA-2159 socket is designed for a 19×19-mm package size and operates at bandwidths up to 94 GHz with less than 1 dB of insertion loss. The socket is designed with a clamshell lid with an adjustable […]
