DESCRIPTION
Tyco Electronics is pleased to announce
the Matrix Series of BGASockets utilizing
HXC 125 polymer. The sockets are fully
arrayed matrixes of contacts available on
0.80mm, 1.00mm, and 1.27mm pitch. The
solderless, compression mount HXC 125
contact system allows you to test a BGA
device without attaching it directly to the
board. The HXC 125 polymer provides
electrically transparent signal transfer.
APPLICATIONS
The HXC 125 polymer system provides
a highly conductive interconnect. This
proprietary material consists of a high
temperature polymer compound that has
been embedded with metalized
particles. The material is formed into
micro-contacts just 0.635mm in diameter
and less than 1mm high. The contacts
are held in a grid pattern by a thin
polyimide substrate. When mechanically
compressed, the contacts electrical
characteristics are optimized.
The unique design of the BGAsocket uses
an anti-overstress feature which protects
the contact and also provides a well for the
ball to rest in. This well acts as an
alignment feature which centers the BGA
ball to the HXC 125 polymer material.
Corner frames provide for gross alignment
of the package to the socket.
