Designed for 23 x 23-mm package sizes, the no-solder 2.5-mm footprint SM-BGA-9000 socket operates at bandwidths up to 40 GHz with ≤ 1dB of insertion loss. The socket is made with a high performance, low inductance elastomer contactor and can dissipate 4.5 W with heat sink compression screw, customizable to 100 W.
The socket connects all pins with 40 GHz bandwidth on all connections, with a 15-mΩ typical contact resistance per pin, 0.10-nH pin self inductance and mutual inductance of 0.007 nH. Capacitance to ground is 0.069 pF, with a current capacity of 4 amps per pin and operating temperature range of –55° to 150°C. (From $1,311 each — available now.)
