Ironwood Electronics recently introduced a new socket addressing high current requirements for dual DC-DC converters: the SBT-DC/DC-9002.

Ironwood Electronics recently introduced a new socket addressing high current requirements for dual DC-DC converters: the SBT-DC/DC-9002.

The contactor is a spring pin with 136-gram actuation force per pin and cycle life of 250,000 insertions. The current capacity of each contactor is 25 amps at 20C temperature rise. Socket temperature range is -55C to +150C. Socket features a floating guide for precise device lead to pin alignment. Socket also includes additional floating compression plate that applies pressure on the device lead when compressed. To use, drop the device into the socket, place floating compression plate, swivel the lid, and downward force is applied by spring force. This socket can be used for hand test and high current applications with the most stringent requirements. The specific configuration of the package to be tested in the SBT-DC/DC-9002 is a DC-DC converter with 37x28mm body size, 5.08mm pitch, and a dual row of pins.

Pricing for the SBT-DC/DC-9002 is $501 at qty 1 with reduced pricing available depending on quantity required.

 

About Ironwood

Ironwood Electronics is ISO9001:2008 certified and offers a wide selection of high performance adapters and sockets, plus experienced engineering for quick-turn customs. Ironwood Electronics offer probing, prototype, and SMT package emulation for all SMT packages. Ironwood Electronics products include High-bandwidth 40 GHz sockets for BGA/QFN, pitches down to 0.3 mm, only 2.5 mm larger than IC. Latest adapters include QFN/MLF package emulators, BGA high endurance test sockets, BGA production adapters, and back-to-back Xilinx-compatible BGA sockets. These adapters/sockets support the product life cycle. In the design cycle, engineers are able to test and develop products more quickly with Ironwood prototype and test adapters for all package type--along with the very high density 40 GHz BGA and QFN/MLF sockets. In production, Ironwood can help extend the product life of PCBs, using package converter technology to replace or upgrade original or obsolete components and provide small to high volume turn-key solutions.
