Embedded Wire Elastomer Sockets for High Speed Applications
SG elastomer sockets allow for very high speed testing of 0.3mm to 1.27mm pitch BGA, LGA, QFN, QFP and SOIC devices on the same footprint as other Ironwood socket technologies. Embedded Wire in Elastomer (SG) contact technology consists of a fine pitch matrix (0.05mm x 0.05mm) of gold plated wires (20 micron diameter). These are embedded at a 63-degree angle in a soft insulating sheet of silicone rubber, which decreases the required contact force.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Short Contact: High bandwidth applications
Gold Plated Brass Wire: Low contact resistance
Small Socket Footprint: Easy to place inductors, capacitors, resistors, etc. for tuning and increasing bandwidth. Ideal for IC prototype and system testing and field upgradeable system designs
High Resilient Elastomer: Compression cycles in thousands
Optimized Contact Force: Reliable connection without damage to device or board
