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.

With lever operated mechanism quickly and easily socket your 0.92mm pitch, 56x45mm size with 3184 contacts on any development platform with performance equivalent to direct solder version using high speed and low inductance elastomer that operates from -55 °C to +160 °C along with liquid cooled lid that dissipates 300 watt power.

GT sockets are ideal for prototyping and testing almost any BGA device application that requires high signal integrity. This new elastomer technology has silver particles held in a conductive column like buttons which are embedded in a non-conductive polymer substrate on a proper pitch that provides high compliance and works in extreme temperature ranges.

Quickly and easily Socket your 1mm pitch 28×28 array, BGA783 packages on any application board with performance equivalent to direct solder version using high speed and low inductance elastomer that operates from -55 °C to +160 °C.
