Embedded Wire Elastomer Sockets for High Speed Applications SG elastomer sockets allow for very high speed testing of 0.3mm to 1.27mm pitch BGA, LGA, QFN, QFP and SOIC devices on the same footprint as other Ironwood socket technologies. Embedded Wire in Elastomer (SG) contact technology consists of a fine pitch matrix (0.05mm x 0.05mm) of […]

Stamped Spring Pin Sockets for High Speed Applications Stamped Spring Pin (SBT) sockets excel in both high insertion count and demanding thermal requirements. The SBT contact is a stamped contact with an external spring and a connecting inner leaf spring. SBT sockets offer low cost and better electrical/mechanical performance than conventional pogo pin sockets while […]
