GHz Elastomer Sockets
Ironwood’s GHz BGA & QFN/MLF sockets are ideal for prototyping and testing almost any BGA or QFN device application. These ZIF sockets provide excellent signal integrity yet remain cost effective. Innovative elastomer interconnect technology that delivers low signal loss up to >40GHz and supports BGA or QFN/MLF pitches down to 0.3mm was utilized in these sockets. GHz BGA sockets are mechanically mounted over a target system’s BGA lands using mounting and alignment holes at proper locations (page 2 of the individual socket drawing shows recommended PCB layout information). These low-profile sockets are only 2.5 mm per side larger than actual IC packages (industry’s smallest footprint). They support IC devices with body sizes ranging from 55mm down to 1mm. Larger body sizes may require a backing plate. If the backside of the target PCB contains capacitors and resistors, a custom insulation plate with cavities cut for those components can be designed. This insulation plate sandwiches between the backing plate and target PCB.

High Performance Chipscale Test Sockets
SC
Ardent Concepts Test Sockets for ATE test deploy patented SC Contact Sets. This technology is capable of over 2 Million mechanical insertions in production environments and uses easy to replace pins with no complicated assembly procedure. It is designed to be drop-in compatible with 1mm offset and straight through footprints to ease implementation, and RC SC’s simple and robust design is extremely cost effective when compared with existing “roll” type test contactors and sockets. Designed specifically for JEDEC QFN and MLF applications, SC High Performance Test Sockets are available for most handler set-ups and offer exceptional AC performance.

Test Contactor/WLCSP Probe Head
ACE
ACE™ test sockets offer optimal RF performance for fine pitch FBGA, QFN and wafer-level packages for Power Amplifiers, RF switches and mobile communications. Supporting pitches down to 0.4 mm, ACE features an innovative design that provides superior performance, improved yields and power efficiency.ACE probe heads deliver exceptional electrical performance, both DC and RF. Manufactured from HyperCore™ base material, a proprietary material of Cohu’s Everett Charles Technologies, ACE probes have the electrical properties of BeCu with the non-oxidizing properties of a precious metal. The short signal path, sharp tips, and large contact area between plungers provide high current conductance and reliable contact with less force.
