Ironwood Electronics has recently introduced a new high-performance BGA socket for 1mm pitch, 240 pin BGA IC's. The SG-BGA-6475 socket is designed for IC size - 17x18mm package size and operates at bandwidths up to 27 GHz with less than 1dB of insertion loss. The contact resistance is typically 20 milliohms per pin. The socket connects all pins with 27 GHz bandwidth on all connections. The socket is mounted on the target PCB with no soldering and uses industry's smallest footprint. The socket is constructed with heat sink lid for dissipation of 5 watts. The socket comes with ball guide for the precise alignment of BGA balls to PCB pads. 

The SG-BGA-6475 socket is constructed with high performance and low inductance elastomer contactor. The temperature range is -35 C to +125 C. The pin self-inductance is 0.15 nH and mutual inductance of 0.025 nH. Capacitance to ground is 0.01 pF. Current capacity is 2 amps per pin. Works with devices such as 240BGA, 17x18mm rectangular package with 15x16 array and 1mm pitch. 

 

About Ironwood Electronics

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.
