Sockets Used in the Semiconductor Industry

Electrical gadgets have been a part of daily living for many decades now. Each task is made easier by these sets of equipment. Specifically, it lessens the time one needs to devote on a specific endeavor. One of the industrial products in this regard is the so-called electrical testing equipment. Custom made test sockets are used in the semiconductor industry. Sockets can be customized and developed according to the customer requirement. Test sockets are used in the semiconductor industry for testing integrated circuit. These are suitable for testing of devices ranging from QFN, BGA, PGA, TSOP etc. equip-test.com provides different test sockets.

The sockets are manufactured from the materials like Torlon, Ultem, Vespel, Peek, Ceramic  etc. These test sockets can be used for bench top testing or for machine automation test. The information required to quote test sockets are: POD (package outline drawing) of the device IC, If for a bench-top test: limitation for test socket size, if machine test: brand of machine handler, preferred test height. Custom made  test sockets are completely unique test socket solution offering maximum resilience in design and performance for complex units.  Various options available on custom test sockets like: “custom footprints and mounting options to interface with existing devices, double sided test, Open test socket bases for backside emission.

Burn-in Sockets:

Generally, as you know that burn-in Sockets are functioned as use and discard product, so diverse necessities are required. Many of these sockets are molded and in these cases, standard models are accessible.

Typical applications are such as EMMC, BGA, QFN, QFP, CSP, LCC, FPC, CPU, GPU, DVB, etc.
