Custom IC Development Sockets

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Can be custom designed and manufactured for any standard or non-standard package, for which an off-the-shelf socket does not exist, or the existing socket is not suitable for the user's specifications
• Offer single- or double-ended spring-probe contacts which combine long life, low profile, and excellent electrical properties such as short electrical lengths and low inductance and capacitance
• Pogo pin sockets provide an optimum socketing solution for next generation IC-packages (BGA, LGA, MCM, Hybrid, NCTB, etc.)
• Also offer elastomer fabrics as an alternative contact. Elastomer sockets allow the design of a low profile socket. Very short electrical paths and low inductance and capacitance is an inherent property of elastomer sockets, which makes them ideal for high frequency applications
• Alternatively, can be manufactured with capped spring, PCB embedded compliant pads, and other contacts.
• Various IC retention mechanisms (lids) available, including clamshell, screw-top, thumb-clasps, etc.
• Wide operating temperature ranges, variable contact forces, multi-pitch packages, and other special requirements can be accommodated.
