94GHz elastomer socket for BGA324
GT sockets are ideal for prototyping and testing almost any BGA device application that requires high signal integrity. This new elastomer technology has silver particles held in conductive column-like buttons which are embedded in a non-conductive polymer substrate on a proper pitch that provides high compliance and works in extreme temperature ranges.
Stamped spring pin socket features no solder PCB mount
Ironwood Electronics introduces stamped spring pin socket addressing high performance requirements for testing BGA35 – CBT-BGA-7525. The contactor is a stamped spring pin with 8 gram actuation force per ball and cycle life of 75,000 insertions. The self-inductance of the contactor is 0.92 nH, insertion loss < 1 dB at 24.7 GHz, and capacitance 0.058pF. The current […]
Chip-size socket boasts -1dB insertion loss
Ironwood Electronics’ chip-size socket connects LPDDR5 to the system PCB with minimal signal loss. The supported device size is 14x14mm, 21×21 array, 0.65mm pitch BGA 441. Once the socket is soldered down to PCB, the device can be simply plugged into it. This Grypper socket has excellent electrical performance of – 1dB insertion loss greater […]
Elastomer socket for BGA324 packages with 23-W power dissipation
A new socket handles ASE package BGA 324 devices. The sockets use an elastomer technology as a contactor between the IC package and the circuit board. The elastomer can support +50 GHz bandwidth and comes with a protective cover. (The cover is necessary because the elastomers are sensitive to dirt.) The elastomer has a low […]
