Ironwood Electronics (Eagan, MN) recently introduced a new BGA socket design using high performance elastomer capable of 75GHz, very low inductance and wide temperature applications. The GT-BGA-2052 socket is designed for 17x17 mm package size and operates at bandwidths up to 75GHz with less than 1dB of insertion loss. The socket is designed to dissipate watts using compression screw and can be customized up to 100 watts with modified fin design on top of the screw and adding axial flow fan. Contact resistance is typically 30 milliohms per pin. The temperature range is -55 C to +160 C. Works with IC's such as 292 BGA, 17x17mm with 20x20 array and 0.8mm pitch.
