IRONWOOD BGA socket addresses high performance requirements for testing BGA devices with smart features. The contactor is a stamped spring pin with 17 gram actuation force per ball and cycle life of 500,000 insertions. The self inductance of the contactor is 0.98nH, insertion loss < 1 dB at 21.9 GHz. The current capacity of each contactor is 4 amps at 30C temperature rise. Socket temperature range is -55C to +180C. Device provides a floating guide for precise ball to pin alignment. BGA socket also features Bluetooth electronic module integrated into the top portion of the socket (compression plate). A thermo couple sensor is brought down from the electronic circuitry to the internal socket cavity where the BGA is placed.
