Clamshell lid socket for QFN16 packages works at up to 44 GHz

September 20, 2018 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

A new QFN socket design using high-performance elastomer capable of 44 GHz, low inductance, high endurance, and wide temperature applications. The SM-QFN-9026 socket is designed for 3×4-m package sizes and operates at bandwidths up to 44 GHz with less than 1 dB of insertion loss.

The socket is also designed to dissipate few watts with compression screw and can be customizedC18163c up to 100 watts with modified fin design on top of the screw and adding axial flow fan. The contact resistance is typically 15 milliohms per pin. The socket connects all pins with 44-GHz bandwidth on all connections. The socket is mounted on the target PCB with no soldering and uses industry’s smallest footprint. The socket is constructed with a clamshell lid which incorporates a quick insertion method so ICs can be changed out quickly.

The SM-QFN-9026 socket is constructed with high-performance and a low-inductance elastomer contactor. The temperature range is -55 to +150°C. The pin self-inductance is 0.10 nH with a mutual inductance of 0.007 nH. Capacitance-to-ground is 0.069 pF. Current capacity is 4A/pin.

Pricing for the SM-QFN-9026 is $1,369 at qty 1; with reduced pricing available depending on quantity required.
