Socket your LGA464 using Extreme Temperature Socket with Superior Electrical Performance

Ironwood Electronics recently introduced a new LGA socket addressing high performance requirements for 1.5mm pitch LGA464 – CBT-LGA-5037. The contactor is a stamped spring pin with 19 gram actuation force per pin and cycle life of 125,000 insertions. The self inductance of the contactor is 0.93 nH, insertion loss of < 1 dB at 23GHz and capacitance 0.097pF. The current capacity of each contactor is 4 amps. Socket temperature range is -55°C to +180°C. Socket also features an IC guide for precise LGA pad alignment through holes in the device. The specific configuration of the package to be tested in the CBT-LGA-5037 is LGA, 47x47mm body size, 30×30 array and 1.5mm pitch. To use, drop IC into the socket, close clamshell lid. Vertical force is applied by the integrated spring loaded compression plate between the lid and device by actuating the lever from open to close. This socket can be used for device characterization, screening modules and custom burn-in applications with the most stringent requirements.

CBT-LGA-5037 socket features a unique contact design with outside spring and flat stamped plungers that provide a robust solution for Burn-in & Test applications including excellent electrical signal integrity to meet the requirements of today’s demanding analog, digital, RF, Bluetooth and medical device applications. The socket is mounted using supplied hardware on the target PCB with no soldering, and uses smallest footprint in the industry. The smallest footprint allows inductors, resistors and decoupling capacitors to be placed very close to the device for impedance tuning. The clamshell socket lid incorporates a quick installation method so that IC’s can be changed out quickly.
