Our Diamond Particle Interconnect (PI) contacts are ideally suited for interconnect between surface mount devices and load boards, testers, programmers, as well as other repeat-insertion applications. Exatron builds both rigid PCB and flex circuit (interposer) test sockets. "Leaded"devices such as SOIC, SSOIC, PLCC, QFP, work well on either rigid PCB or interposer-style sockets. Leadless devices, whose contact pads lack mechanical compliance, such as MLF, LCC,QFN, have been candidates for interposer-style sockets. Until now, these have been only moderately successful. In some cases a conductive elastomer was needed to provide the necessary compliance, but with life span and electrical performance drawbacks. With the new DUO interposer socket, Exatron provides an elegant solution to the mechanical compliance problem and maintains the best electrical performance of any socket available today.

DUO interposers are provide in sheet form or as individual complete test sockets. Even with just a one-piece order, we can easily adapt the DUO interposer to fit any rocker-type test socket footprint and tooling pin/bolt pattern.
