SPECIFICATION WITHOUT NOTICE. FEATURES
- For high-frequency Testing & Burn-In of CSP, µBGA, DSP, LGA, SRAM, DRAM and Flash Devices.
- Any pitch device on 0.40mm or larger.
- 4-point Crown insures “scrub” on solder oxides.
- Single-point Probes available for small land area contact pads.
- Signal path during test-only 0.077 [1.92]
- Socket is easily mounted and removed to and from the Burn-in Board (BIB) with Solderless Pressure-mount Compression Spring Probes, accurately located with two molded plastic Alignment Pins and mounted with four Stainless Steel screws.
- Gold over Nickel-plated Compression Spring Probes leave small witness marks on the device’s solder balls.
- Standard molded socket format can accommodate any device package of 40mm or smaller.
- Pressure Pad Compression Spring provides proper force against device and allows for height variations in device thickness.
