BRISTOL, PA – Aries Electronics, a US manufacturer of standard, programmed and custom interconnection products – burn-in and test sockets used worldwide, was awarded “Best Presentation – Tutorial in Nature” for the paper entitled “Anatomy of a Test Socket” which was presented at the annual Burn-in & Test Strategies Workshop (BiTS), held March 3-8 in Mesa, Arizona.
The presentation focused on the components and construction of burn-in and test sockets from concept through assembly. It was produced to help educate those in associated industries who may lack an appreciation for all the steps and intricacies necessary to manufacture a burn-in or test socket.
