Sockets
BGA Socket
Ironwood supports mechanical mount sockets and zero footprint soldered-down sockets called Gryppers that can be used for prototype development, silicon validation, system development, thermal characterization, burn-in application, functional production test, etc.
QFN/QFP35 Socket
High-Performance mechanical mount Test Socket for Engineering Development, Characterization, Failure analysis and Manual testing of QFN, QFP, DFN and SOIC Packages.
Socket Lid Type
Ironwood sockets can be designed with different lid types such as open top, simple screw down, swivel lid, clamshell lid, double-latched lid, lids with heat sinks for thermal management. Lids with pre-defined torques are also available for ease of operation.
Smart Socket
Ironwood Electronics has extended its high performance socket product line with smart features. Examples include socket insertion counter, temperature display, bluetooth temperature monitoring BGA sockets etc.
We also have
ATE
Sockets
Board-to-board
connectors
Custom interposers for
obsolescence management
- Our sockets support various lid-types some of which can accommodate heatsinks for high power devices.
- We also have the capability for low-cost burn-in sockets for quantities above 50.
Adapters
Giga-snaP™ BGA SMT Adapters (LS/SF)
The Giga-snaP™ line of BGA SMT adapters provide the most reliable interconnect to BGA SMT pads. These patented adapters remain attached through many solder cycles and will not warp as plastic molded parts. They also offer half the insertion force of other SMT adapters.
Surface Mount Package Emulation (SF)
Ironwood has developed the industry’s widest range of interconnection adaptors for SMT device emulation and interconnect. Our Giga-snaP™ BGA SMT Package Emulators provide highest speed, reliability, and lowest insertion force. We offer SMT bases and thru-hole adapters for BGA, PLCC, QFP, and SOIC packages.
Package Converters & Fix Adapters (PC/DC/FX)
Ironwood offers many adapters for converting IC packaging and device pin outs, solving many IC availability and performance issues. They also offer fix adapters to solve layout problems and some known chip deficiencies. Custom, quick turn solutions are our specialty.
Probing and Analysis Adapters (CA/PB/LA)
Ironwood offers probing adapters and logic analyzer adapters for all SMT package types, as well as socket probes for DIP and PLCC. Ironwood is a partner of Keysight and Tektronix. In addition, Ironwood offers adapters to facilitate the use of in-circuit emulators and FPGA development systems.
PLCC Clips & Socket Plugs (PL/CL)
Ironwood offers PLCC adapters that will snap onto the PLCC package or insert into a PLCC socket. These adapters provide reliable access and interconnection to all signals.
Chip Obsolescence Solution
Ironwood has 25+ years of experience in solving chip obsolescence problem. The company can provide complete turn-key solutions for subsystems and IC upgrades that involves design service, component procurement service, component manufacturing, final assembly, X-ray/AOI service, functional/parametric testing and customized packaging.
Board-to-board connectors
High-speed connectors using elastomer, spring pin, and pin/socket interconnect technologies provide up to 94 GHz of bandwidth in the smallest possible footprint, for both prototype and production applications.
