Ironwood Electronics introduced a new socket addressing high performance requirements for Burn-in and Test applications – SBT-SOIC-2000. Socket features a floating guide for precise lead to pin alignment. Socket also includes additional floating compression plate that has a cavity to accommodate mold case. To use, drop IC into the socket, place floating compression plate, swivel the lid, and apply down force using compression screw. This socket can be used for hand test and quick turn custom burn-in applications with the most stringent requirements.
