High
Yield Low Loss Interconnect for Chipscale ATE Test Sockets
Ardent Concepts Test Sockets for ATE test deploy patented RC Scrub-R™
Contact Sets. This technology is capable of over 2 Million mechanical
insertions in production environments and uses easy to replace
pins with no complicated assembly procedure. It is designed to
be drop-in compatible with 1mm offset and straight through footprints
to ease implementation, and RC Scrub-R™'s simple and robust design
is extremely cost effective when compared with existing "roll"
type test contactors and sockets. Designed specifically for JEDEC
QFN and MLF applications, RC Scrub-R™ High Performance Test Sockets
are available for most handler set-ups and offer exceptional AC
performance.
KEEP IT SIMPLE: RC Scrub-R™
vs. Traditional Contact Set Solutions:
RC Scrub-R™ Test sockets
were designed with one goal in mind; Increase Yields in ATE
Test of Chipscale packages.
The patented "Scrub" action on the DUT side cuts through
oxidation and creates a new surface of contact for each insertion.
The unique cavity of the pin itself targets this translation
to the top side, virtually eliminating board wear. RC Scrub-R™
pins are made from pure semi-precious metal, eliminating the
plating wear seen with many traditional ATE test socket solutions.
RC Scrub-R™ is the only test socket
solution which uses the patented 'sliding coil' action at the
core of RC Spring Probe™ technology.
This concept allows us to design systems capable of up to 24GHz
@ < -1dB. The result is an exceptionally robust test socket
with an exceptionally simple contact set.
RC Scrub-R™ has been designed as a
drop in replacement for high performance pogo pin connectors
and ATE sockets for some of the most advanced semiconductor
firms in the world.
The RC Scrub-R™ is available in a variety
of pitch and height configurations. We will work with you
on your custom design applications, provide sample contacts,
and help you to determine the best contact size and pitch
for your particular ATE socket requirement.
If you don't see what you are looking for in here,
ask
us for help. We have a number of custom contact
designs based on the patented RC Scrub-R™
architecture. Our engineers will work within your requirements
to determine the best possible solution for your test socket,
compliant interposer or electrical connector needs
Ardent Concepts is focused on helping clients improve electrical
efficiencies and reduce costs with innovative spring loaded connector
and test socket designs. We design and build custom and off-the-shelf
compression mount connectors and test sockets for customers around
the world using patented
RC Spring Probe™
technology. Industries
served include the semiconductor, medical device, military and
industrial design sectors.
Multi-GHz RC Spring Probe™ Technology is more
robust, more scalable and less expensive than legacy solutions
like barrel spring pins or conductive elastomerics. Spring Loaded
Connectors and Test Sockets with RC Spring Probe™ technology offer
the best possible electrical performance for an all metal-solution,
making them the preferred discrete-node alternative to expensive
"pogo" style pins. With pitch capability down as low
as .3mm and force per node as low as 5 grams, massively parallel
interfaces are possible without massive force.
If you have used traditional spring pin, spring
probe, or spring loaded connectors for your application, RC Spring
Probe™ technology is a clear alternative. Custom Spring Loaded
Connectors, PCB interfaces, IC Test Sockets and Device Fixtures
are all possible with short lead times from Ardent Concepts.
