We offer many adapters for converting IC packaging and device pin outs, solving many IC availability and performance issues. We also offer fix adapters to solve layout problems and some known chip deficiencies. Custom, quick turn solutions are our specialty.

GHz BGA & QFN/MLF sockets provide excellent signal integrity in a small, cost effective ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket for prototype and test applications. Our sockets support pitches down to 0.3mm.

Giga-snaP™ line of BGA adapters provide the most reliable interconnect to BGA SMT pads. These patent pending adapters remain attached through many solder cycles reliably and will not warp as plastic molded parts. Insertion force is half of competitive products and better transmission of high frequency signals due to shortest connection length.

Socket and Test your 35x35mm BGA device using extreme temperature socket !! Ironwood Electronics recently introduced a new Stamped spring pin socket addressing high performance requirements for testing BGA1089 – CBT-BGA-6082. The contactor is a stamped spring pin with 19 gram actuation force per ball and cycle life of 125,000 insertions. The self inductance of the contactor is 0.93 […]

BGA Emulation Socket Adapter Allows Affordable, Reliable Socketing of ICs with different mounting configuration ! Ironwood Electronics’ new high performance BGA Socket Adapter, LS-BGA256E-15, allows user to convert compression mount BGA socket which needs mounting holes (in target PCB) into conventional through hole soldering options. The adapter consists of machined Brass pins pressed into an […]

Ironwood package converters solve chip obsolescence problems ! Often, a manufacturer will suddenly find a device, which has been purchased for years, is no longer available in the package the system board was designed for. Until the board is redone, a package converter is needed to fulfill the immediate requirements. With 25+ years in solving […]
