Ironwood Electronics
Ironwood Electronics has been the go-to source for advanced adapters, sockets, and modules. Our adapters convert package and pitch between devices, our modules offer complete fully tested assemblies for component replacement and upgrade, and our sockets allow for complete component and assembly testing - from new silicone characterization and validation, all the way thru burn-in and high volume automated testing – always with the highest performance and lowest possible footprint in the industry. Ironwood brings a combined knowledge of hundreds of years of engineering and manufacturing expertise, all under one roof in our state of the art 25,000 sq. foot facility just outside Minneapolis, Minnesota. Combined with our recent acquisition of the Grypper socket line, our continuous new product development demonstrates our on-going commitment to both our customers and the industry we serve.

Socket Accessories (SMT Options)
-
The SMT adapter consists of standard high temperature FR4 with plugged via technology, eutectic SN63PB37 solder balls or SAC lead free solder balls and threaded inserts for mounting the socket. The top side of adapter has SMT pads to receive socket interconnect and the bottom side has appropriate solder balls for corresponding pitch. This FR4 adapter with balls can be soldered to the SMT pads in the target board. Then socket can be mounted to the threaded insert on the FR4 adapter.

Grypper "Y"
-
Ironwood Electronics Grypper Y contact is design to work with BGA devices with solder balls/bumps with no equator or small exposure where the standard Grypper cannot reliably hold on to the solder ball. The Y shape, working with the sliding lid, allows reliable contact and ensures device retention in high vibration application. Lower forces, <25 grams, makes insertion easier too and the less aggressive contacting allows 40+ insertions of the same device. The Sliding Lid can be configured to include heat sinking. The Y contact designs cover BGA devices from 0.35mm pitch and larger and the short electrical length has superior electrical performance.

Open Top BGA Sockets
-
Ironwood has the most comprehensive collection of open top BGA and QFN sockets that can be used for qualification application, silicon FIB testing, system development, thermal characterization, burn-in application, etc. IC socket can be defined as an electromechanical device, which provides removable interface between IC package and system circuit board with minimal effect on signal integrity. Typical packages include BGA, LGA, QFN, QFP, WLCSP, etc. Open top allows access to the top side of IC. Below is an example BGA socket that uses low cost elastomer contact technology.
