Machined High-Frequency Center Probe Test & Burn-in Socket for BGA, CSP, & MLF Packages

FEATURES

  • Aries unique universal socketing system allows the socket to be easily configured for any package, on any pitch (or multiple pitch) from 0.2mm or greater, in any configuration, with little or no tooling charge or extra lead-time.
  • For Test & Burn-In of CSP, µBGA, Bump-Array, QFN, QFP, MLF, DFN, SSOP, TSSOP, TSOP, SOP, SOIC, LGA, LCC, PLCC, TO and any SMT package style made. Also can be compatible with PGA packaged devices.
  • Quick and Easy Probe Replacement System: the complete set of probes can be removed and a new set (interposer) can be inserted quickly and easily. The old set can be returned to the factory for repair and sent back within one day.
  • Solderless Spring-Probes pressure mount to the test board and device solder ball or pad.
  • Only 0.077 [1.96] signal path.
  • Very low inductance and capacitance.
  • Small footprint allows max. use of test board area.
  • Chip guides allow accurate device location.
  • Spring loaded contacts provide high cycle life.
  • 4-point edge male contacts provide accurate mating.
  • Socket locating posts provide accurate socket location to board.
  • Bottom contact allows for via in center of PCB pad.
