Ironwood Electronics’ new Spring Pin sockets (ESS) can be easily customized for specific test height, force, plating finish, materials, etc. The spring pin functions as the interface between the IC package and the circuit board. These contacts support up to 34GHz bandwidth with standard designs, and with customization, impedance can be matched for highest electrical […]

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 […]

Ironwood Electronics offers high performance test sockets and adapters for both engineering and production use of semiconductor devices. IC packages covered include QFN, BGA, SOIC, QFP, LGA, WLCSP and other SMT packages. Our GHz line of sockets with 6 different contact technologies supports up to 110 GHz bandwidth, >=0.2mm pitch, <=10000 pins, 500K insertions and […]

GHz elastomer, spring pin and other socket technologies can accommodate different lid options depending upon the application requirement. Typical choices are swivel-lid, clam-shell, double-latch, integral heat-sink, etc.                    Custom lid solutions are also available. Swivel Lid   Heatsink Compression Screw   Clam Shell Lid with Compression Screw […]

Shortest spring pin, 1mm compressed height, provides highest electrical bandwidth 60GHz with lowest inductance of 0.17nH along with 2A continuous current carrying capacity. Quarter turn spring loaded lid allows gradual pressure to CSP with easy chip replacement functionality.

Ironwood introduces high performance near zero footprint elastomer socket                    Ironwood Electronics NEW Near Zero elastomer socket (NZGT) combines high performance elastomer technology with surface mount option enabling minimal footprint with bandwidth >43GHz. The GT high performance elastomer contact can support much higher bandwidth, but requires a footprint with mounting/alignment holes. NZGT technology utilizes high […]

Shortest spring pin, 1mm compressed height, provides highest electrical bandwidth 60GHz with lowest inductance of 0.17nH along with 2A continuous current carrying capacity. Quarter turn spring loaded lid allows gradual pressure to CSP with easy chip replacement functionality.

Quickly and easily socket your optoelectronic module (BGA64, 0.45mm pitch, 7.7x10mm size) and verify the performance equivalent to direct solder version using a high performance spring pin with low inductance of 0.17nH that operates from -40°C to +120°C.
