Wells-CTI, supplier of burn-in sockets, has developed a programming socket that can readily manage programmable devices in a volume production environment.
Many chipmakers have effectively called on burn-in suppliers to deliver QFN sockets that both support finer-pitch packages and make it easy for them to replace and maintain sockets to maximise their production capacities.
Antares will supply its latest QFN socket through its global distribution network under an agreement it established with Gryphics in the second quarter of this year.
The 880's compression mount clamshell is designed to allow chipmakers to remove or replace the sockets and retain production capacity if they were to damage them.
The socket's wiping-action contact works to create consistent resistance during burn-in and reduce maintenance and downtime.
The 880 features a traditional cantilever contact.
The socket also features high-performance contacts housed within replaceable contact sets.
It has a beryllium copper alloy contact, gold contact plating, 20g contact force, a temperature rating of -40C to 155C and durability of 30,000 cycles.
