Ironwood Electronics (Eagan, MN) has introduced a new high performance BGA socket for 1-mm pitch, 1924 pin BGA ICs. The SG-BGA-6409 socket is designed for two different IC sizes – 45 mm x 45 mm and 47.5 mm x 47.5 mm package size and operates at bandwidths up to 8 GHz with less than 1 dB of insertion loss. The sockets are designed to dissipate up to several Watts without extra heat sinking and can handle up to 100 Watts with custom heat sink. The contact resistance is typically 20 milliohms per pin. The socket connects all pins with 8 GHz bandwidth on all connections. The socket is mounted on the target PCB with no soldering, and it uses a very footprint (only 2.5 mm more on each side). The socket:
- Is constructed with shoulder screw and swivel lid which incorporates a quick insertion method so that IC’s can be changed out quickly.
- Comes with drop in IC guide to accommodate the smaller IC size.
- Is constructed with high performance and low inductance elastomer contactor.
