With the evolution and proliferation of programmable devices, IC programming requirements have suddenly become significantly more stringent. By leveraging its commitment to technical superiority, Antares Advanced Test Technologies has developed a programming socket that can readily manage today's spectrum of programmable devices in a volume production environment. Antares announced its new high performance, high cycle life programming socket family, the 780 Series - with intentions of dramatically increasing customer yields.
Perfect for volume production and available now, Antares' new programming socket accommodates CSP and fBGA packages and accepts both lead-free and eutectic solder balls.
780 Series programming sockets increase efficiencies by utilizing low resistance contacts; high performance, high temperature materials; pre-loaded spring contact probes and compression mount technology. Customer outputs will benefit from less solder transfer and contamination, easy to replace and low risk socket replacement that minimizes pad wear.
