Ironwood Electronics
introduced a new double stacked socket addressing high performance requirements
for testing processor and memory simultaneously - CBT-BGA-7002. The
contactor is a stamped spring pin with 26g actuation force per ball and cycle
life of 500,000 insertions. The self inductance of the contactor is 0.88nH,
insertion loss less than 1dB at 15.7GHz and capacitance 0.097pF. The current
capacity of each contactor is 4A at 80C temperature rise. Socket temperature
range is -55 to +180C. Socket also features a floating guide for precise ball
to pin alignment. The specific configuration of the package to be tested in the
CBT-BGA-7002 is a processor BGA, 15x15mm, 0.65mm pitch, 384 position, 22x22
ball array in the bottom socket and a memory BGA, 15x15mm, 0.65mm pitch, 112
position, 22x22 ball array in the top socket. The socket is mounted using
supplied hardware on the target PCB with no soldering, and uses the smallest
footprint in the industry. The smallest footprint allows inductors, resistors
and decoupling capacitors to be placed very close to the device for impedance
tuning. To use, place known good memory IC into the floating nest assembly and
mount to the socket lid using the supplied hardware. Place the BGA processor
into the socket base and lock the socket lid assembly on to the base using the
latch.
Pricing for the CBT-BGA-7002 is $1678 at qty 1 with reduced pricing available
depending on quantity required.
By experimenting with the photovoltaic reaction in solar cells, researchers at MIT have made a breakthrough in energy efficiency that significantly pushes the boundaries of current commercial cells on the market.
In a world that's going green, industrial operations have a problem: Their processes involve materials that are potentially toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive. If improperly managed, this can precipitate dangerous health and environmental consequences.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
