Elastomer socket delivers 23W power dissipation

Electronics Interconnect Interconnect socketIRONWOOD ELECTRONICS Elastomer used in the socket, as a contactor between the IC package and the circuit board, is a low resistance (less than 0.05ohms) connector, which delivers 23W power dissipation. Elastomer consists of a fine pitch matrix of gold plated wires in a soft insulating sheet of silicone rubber. The sockets have a precision design, which guides the IC to the exact position for connection of each ball and uses an aluminum heat sink to provide compressive force.
