Custom Engineered Products

Ironwood has the largest, most experienced engineering staff in our industry.
See our custom engineering pages for some examples and quote requests.

Turn-Key Modules
Fast, high quality, quick turn custom projects are our specialty. We can provide complete turn key solutions for subsystems and IC upgrades.

Custom Adapter Designs
If a standard part cannot meet your requirements, we develop more custom adapters than anyone in our industry.

Ironwood’s Standard Product Families

Ironwood Electronics offers the most comprehensive line of sockets and adapters for prototyping, testing, and production applications. We believe that our quality is unsurpassed. Our product families are outlined below:

Our standard products may be purchased via our on-line catalog or through your local Ironwood representative

GHz BGA Sockets
Our GHz BGA and QFN/MLF socket designs combine the smallest footprint with the highest possible performance. They support pitches from 1.27mm down to 0.3mm. We typically ship within 5 days ARO. Simply the best Engineering Test Socket.

On-line catalog: BGA Sockets

Probing and Analysis Adapters
We offer probing adapters and logic analyzer adapters for all SMT package types, as well as socket probes for DIP and PLCC. We are Agilent and Tektronix partners. In addition, we offer adapters to facilitate the use of in-circuit emulators and FPGA development systems.

IC Device and Package Converters
We offer over 500 adapters for converting IC packaging and device pinouts, solving many IC availability and performance issues. We also offer "fix" adapters to solve layout problems and some known chip deficiences. Custom, quick turn solutions are our speciality.

Surface Mount Package Emulation
Ironwood has developed the industry's widest range of interconnection adapters for testing and socketing of surface mount technology. We offer SMT bases and thru-hole adapters for BGA, PLCC, QFP, and SOIC packages.

Sockets and Receptacles
Our high performance GHzBGA sockets join Ironwood's line of sockets and receptacles for BGA, MGA, PGA, QIP, and QFP packages. We also offer parts that provide sockets for in-circuit emulators.

Prototyping Adapters
We offer probing adaptors and logic analyzer adapters for all SMT package types, as well as PGA, QIP, and DIP. We are Agilent and Tektronics partners.

Extenders and Rotators
Extenders and Rotators avoid obstacles and facilitate access into hard to reach areas. We offer a number of standard PLCC extenders. Ironwood also develops many custom parts for unique spaces, often required by in-circuit emulator applications.
