Ironwood Electronics Introduces 10-GHz Bandwidth RF Socket For 48LCC Package

Burnsville, MN -- Ironwood Electronics recently introduced a new high performance LCC socket for 0.040" pitch 48 pin Leadless Chip Carrier. The SG-MLF-7039 socket is designed for an 0.563"x0.563"x0.081" package size and operates at bandwidths up to 10 GHz with less than 1dB of insertion loss. The sockets are designed to dissipate up to several watts without extra heat sinking and can handle up to 100 watts with custom heat sink. The contact resistance is typically 20 milliohms per pin. The socket connects all pins with 10 GHz bandwidth on all connections. The socket is mounted using supplied hardware on the target PCB with no soldering, and uses smallest footprint in the industry. The smallest footprint allows inductors, resistors and decoupling capacitors to be placed very close to the device for impedance tuning. The socket also incorporates a new quick insertion method so that IC's can be changed out quickly. The socket body and lid are gold plated and used as RF shield from adjacent noises.

The SG-MLF-7039 sockets are constructed with high performance and low inductance elastomer contactor. The temperature range is -35C to +100 C. The pin self inductance is 0.15 nH and mutual inductance of 0.025 nH. Capacitance to ground is 0.01 pF. Current capacity is 2 amps per pin.

Pricing for the The SG-MLF-7039 is $652 at qty 1; with reduced pricing available depending on quantity required.

Ironwood Electronics will feature the SG-MLF-7039 socket at booth #632 during IMS2010, May 25 - 27 in Anaheim, CA.
