Chip Size Socket for 0.5mm Pitch BGA35 Ironwood Grypper sockets are great for enabling fast easy swap out of a BGA device for development sorting and failure analysis. The Grypper socket allows you to simply snap in the BGA device into the socket – No Lid needed. The Grypper sockets are the same size as the device, “ZERO FOOTPRINT SOCKET”, so they will reflow directly onto the same area as the original device. The Grypper has excellent electrical performance to 40 GHz @ -1dB.

Spring Pin Socket for BGA153 Test your BGA153 device using high performance 31GHz spring pin socket and low 14g force per pin. Small footprint (only 2.5mm larger than device per side) allows capacitors and resistors be placed very close to device. Swivel lid provides easy open/close operation for device swapping.
