Chip Size, SMD Socket Adapter for 32 pin, 0.5mm Pitch IC’s
Users can socket their 32 pin MLF IC’s including Grounding Pad and requires no extra PCB Space
|
EAGAN, MN – February, 2005 – Ironwood Electronics’ new high performance SMD Socket Adapter, LS-MLF32A-01, allows user to socket an MLF chip having only the SMT pads on the target PCB without any additional space for a socket. The companion SF-MLF32A-01 is attached directly to the target PCB using the same soldering methods as attaching an MLF (or QFN) IC. The target IC is soldered to the LS-MLF32A-01. The two parts are interconnected together with gold plated machined pins for highest reliability. The height of the socket not including IC is then 5 mm. This patent pending adapter set then allows easy prototyping or upgrading of MLF IC’s reliably and inexpensively. |
