Image Sensor Sockets: A Key Factor in Camera Design The proliferation of valuable high-resolution, high-speed, and 3D image sensors makes the use of sockets an increasingly important factor in camera development. Camera makers — and, therefore, image sensor makers — today are under greater pressure than ever to offer new models that provide higher resolution […]

The SM-BGA socket is constructed with high performance (> 40GHz bandwidth) and low inductance elastomer contactor. The temperature range is -55 °C to +150 °C. The pin self-inductance is 0.21 nH. Capacitance to ground is 0.15 pF. Current capacity is 4 amps per pin.
