To characterize the IC device at a certain temperature, a Compression plate (interfaces with IC device) is used with an integrated heater and thermocouple that are connected to the PID controller. This unique compression plate can be used with any socket that connects the IC device to the PCB electrically. Once the temperature or profile […]
Constructed with stamped spring pin technology to accommodate 15+GHz bandwidth along with liquid cooling for dissipating 40+ watt to maintain temperature below 85C. With spring loaded compression mechanism, it is easy to swap the device and characterize while maintaining thermal requirements.
High-Performance Socket for Optical Devices Ironwood Electronics’ NEW opto-electronic sockets can be customized very easily for various devices such as fiber optic cables, sensors, optical transceivers, switches or splitters. The socket can be designed with low force short spring pins or high-performance elastomer contacts that support up to 110GHz bandwidth. With customization, impedance can be matched […]
To verify the performance of high power artificial intelligence chip, 80+ GHz bandwidth elastomer socket can be used with heatsink/axial flow fan to remove 250+ watts of heat generation. Elastomer socket is transparent such that the performance is equivalent to direct solder version. Self inductance of elastomer is 0.1nH and the socket can be operated […]
Ironwood Electronics’ new Spring Pin sockets (ESS) can be easily customized for specific test height, force, plating finish, materials, etc. The spring pin functions as the interface between the IC package and the circuit board. These contacts support up to 34GHz bandwidth with standard designs, and with customization, impedance can be matched for highest electrical […]
