Horseshoe MINO PIN test socket

Horseshoe MINO PIN test socket

  • Use Mino Pins as the contact between a device and a board. Scratch movement ensures reliable contact and excellent RF characteristics.
  • Applicable device: RF / Analog / Power
  • Applicable packages: QFN, DFN, QFP, SOP
  • Self-cleaning function with rolling contact design

Overview

― Applicable device : RF / Analog / Power

― Applicable packages : QFN, DFN, QFP, SOP

― Rolling contact design allows self-cleaning and ;

・ Stable contact resistance

・ Low initial failure rate

・ Excellent electrical characteristics

・ Long life MTBA (Mean Time between Assists)

・ Easy maintenance

・ Minimization of test cost

Pin types

― Matt tin plating type : high contact force and self cleaning fuction

― Nickel and palladium gold plated type: low contact force (for preventing abrasion)

― Temperature: -40 ~ +200 ℃

Prevents pad abrasion

 

Contact mark 0.008 mm (after 1,000,000 times of use)

 Damage to PCB pads is minimized by the rolling movement of pins when contacting the pads.

“SET” : with no contact force

“TEST” : with contact force
