Long-Life Hi-Frequency Sockets for BGA, LGA, QFN, MLCC, µBGA and Bumped Die Devices Ideally Suited for RFIC and Microwave IC Development & Test Interposer Contact System – AR200 and AR300 Series Test Sockets Announcing significant improvements to our high-performance contact system. Using our proven Interposer Elastomer Technology, the new CORE feature internally controls compression to ensure stability with extremely low resistance values and much longer contact element life. (See Interposer Contact System Life on following page). Low interconnect parasitics make these sockets an ideal choice for device characterization or high-volume production testing of devices, such as power amplifiers, mixers, highly integrated RF ICs, and microwave devices. ORDERING INFORMATION This material can be ordered with ANY Aries RF/CSP Sockets Insertion Loss of -1dB @ 40GHz Return Loss of -15dB @ 22GHz Interposer contact system with very short interconnects (available in 1.0mm or 0.6mm thickness) enhance adjacent channel power and noise sensitivity measurements. Hand Test Automation QFN Footprint Interposer footprint lets the PCB designer locate impedance matching network components within 1mm of device pads.
