Ardent
Contactors and Interconnect interfaces are based on our
proprietary wire form contact, the RC Springprobe™.
This new technology is capable of the highest loop through
bandwidth of any all-metal, area array contact available.
Currently the RC Springprobe™ is available for requirements
with a center-to-center pitch of .4mm or greater. The RC
Springprobe™ is capable of contacting most package
designs and high node count arrays. Test socket and compliant
interposer designs for tight pitch area array and high-node
count requirements are available.
