High Performance Near Zero Footprint Sockets for 0.25 + pitch devices for Both BGA and lead and leadless packages. New Configuration using the proven GT elastomeric contact element allowing 43 Ghz Bandwidth (Measured on 0.5 pitch BGA -S21 @-1dB @ 43 GHz) 1000+ insertions on the same device with many lid options.

Ironwood Electronics new Near Zero GT contact is design to work with most type of devices. The GT elastomeric element, working with the lid, allows reliable contact and ensures device retention in high vibration application. Lower forces, ~ 25 grams, makes insertion easier too and the less aggressive contacting allows 100+ insertions of the same device. The Lid can be configured to include heat sinking. The GT element designs cover devices from 0.25 pitch and larger and the short electrical length has superior electrical performance.
