They are high-performance sockets and the most reliable ones in the high temperature and high bandwidth applications. Ironwood is also known for their zero and near zero footprint sockets for BGA devices called gryppers.

A semiconductor IC socket, also known as an integrated circuit socket or IC socket, is a device designed to provide a temporary or permanent connection between an integrated circuit (IC) and a circuit board. It consists of a socket with a series of electrical contacts or pins that match the configuration of the IC package. The main purpose of using a semiconductor IC socket is to facilitate the easy insertion, removal, and replacement of ICs in electronic circuits. They are typically used for Testing and Prototyping, Component Protection, Flexibility and Reusability, System Debugging and Troubleshooting, Burn-in and Testing.

After you share your requirement with us, we will work with you and Ironwood and share a quote which includes a non-recurring engineering (NRE) free, socket cost and the lead time. Once you process the PO, we will work with Ironwood to design a custom socket over 1-2 weeks, and upon your approval, the socket will be manufactured and shipped out in 4-6 weeks from the time of design approval.

3-4 weeks after an order has been placed with us for standard sockets and 6-8 weeks for custom sockets.

The process is simple and straightforward. Reach out to us with the mechanical specifications of your device and the application requirements. Within 1-2 days, we will get back to you with a formal quote and the lead time for the socket/adapter. If it’s a standard socket, we can even share the drawing with you. We will need a formal purchase order placed on us to initiate the next steps. We will share an order acknowledgment that will have details on the estimated delivery time.
