Ironwood Electronics introducing its first, of many, production Test Contactors into the Automated Test Environment, also known as ATE.
The PicoRaptor contact is a rigid pin that uses a single elastomer for ease of rebuild that is a high-performance contact for high frequency and high insertion count. It’s available in 1mm and 2mm length with pitch down to 0.30mm pitch. The single P elastomer provides firm contact to the load board and to the tip of the contact while providing a contact wipe that keeps Cres stable by keeping solder migration to a minimum off the contact tips with a proprietary Advance Contact finish (ACF) and prolongs load board life.
