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.
Water Cooled Solutions
Water-cooled solutions refer to the use of water as a cooling medium to dissipate heat generated by various devices or systems. This technology is commonly used in high-performance computing, industrial machinery, electronics, and even some high-end gaming PCs. Please find our products below:
400 Watt Integrated Radiators
It is important for applications exceeding 300W to be able to dissipate and remove the heat from the device. Fluid based solutions accomplish both. Ironwood is familiar with a wide variety of radiator and pump solutions on the market and can pair the correct solution to any given application. Figure 1 shows one such solution for a 52 x 42mm device, 0.9mm pitch, 300W, and a 80mm x 160mm radiator.
1200 Watt Integrated Radiators
The figure shows a test socket for a BGA6500 device which typically generates power of 1000 watts. Socket is designed with a water block assembly which has a top component that has interfaces for water inlet and outlet. The bottom component has channels for water to flow through all surfaces for heat dissipation. The cycle continues as long as the test is in process and device temperature is maintained below 125 deg C.
1500+ Watt Water Block for Chillers
Many test labs already have cold water or chillers available. For these applications custom water blocks are designed to mate up with the existing system. These independent units can be used inside the socket or sometimes interfaced with TEC (Thermo Electric Cooler) for improving cooling efficiency. Figure 3 shows a solution for a 90mm x 80mm device on a 0.9mm pitch, with an independent force controlled water block. The water block is rated for 1500W, thermal resistance of 0.03 C/W, and a 1.2 psi pressure drop.
CFD Simulation Capabilities
Ironwood has decades of experience integrating thermal requirements into both socket and adapter designs. Any new thermal design goes through extensive simulations utilizing the requirements of the application.
