CSP Sockets and Contactors

Antares designed and shipped the first 0.5 mm pitch Chip Scale Package (CSP) test socket, and now we are delivering test sockets with even tighter pitch, 0.4 nH inductance, and an operating temperature range of –50 to +150°C for manual and automatic test applications.

Test Socket and Contactor Design
Our design process is highly automated from computer-aided design (CAD), that includes 3D electrical and mechanical modeling, to computer-aided manufacturing (CAM).

Our design approach is application specific to optimize performance, reliability, and cost effectiveness. Therefore, we employ spring-loaded contact pins, conductive elastomer, or another contact design in a fixed- or floating-base socket or contactor depending on which approach best meets the critical requirements of a specific test application.


Test and Verification
Test socket verification can range from a continuity test to a complete characterization of the socket’s resistance, capacitance, inductance, bandwidth, power and crosstalk.
