Male Pin Adapters

SMT Adapters for BGA Sockets allow socketing on PCB's where no mounting holes exist. A female Giga-snaP BGA adapter is mounted for no clearance applications and then the socket is mounted to a male pin adapter which is then plugged in. For boards with more area an adapter can be soldered directly.
 
Ironwood's standard GHz elastomer or Spring pin sockets can be mounted on male pin adapters. The socket and adapter assembly can be plugged into our female Giga-snaP SMT adapter. This combination is used when there is no room to put mounting holes for socket on customer's board. The female Giga-snaP SMT adapter is same size as the chip and is only 2.87mm in thickness.

Female Giga-snaP SMT Tables: The GHz Land Sockets allow the GHz BGA ZIF Sockets to be mounted on an adapter and then the male pin assembly can be either inserted into PCB holes or mounted on a Giga-snaP female BGA SMT adapter.



SMT Adapters

The GHz direct mount adapters shown below allow direct soldering of the adapter to the target PCB. The Ironwood socket is then mounted to the adapter. This increases the bandwidth over the above Land Socket and BGA female Socket adapter but requires more board space.
