Kelvin Sockets
Kelvin Sockets: FEATURES
- Low resistance testing using dual independent Aries Kelvin spring probe technology per device pad for testing of MLF, QFN, LGA and other leadless devices.
- Any pitch device on 0.40mm pitch or higher
- Socket is easily mounted and removed to & from the test board due to solderless pressure mount compression spring probes which, are accurately located by two molded plastic alignment pins and mounted with four stainless steel screws
- The Au over Ni plated compression spring probes leave very small witness marks on the bottom surface of the device pads
- Small overall socket size/profile allows max. number of sockets per test board, while being operator friendly
- Kelvin Test Socket Contact System is available for any Aries CSP and Center Probe Test Sockets
- Pressure pad compression spring provides proper force against device and allows for height variations in device thickness
- Probe blade edge tip for cutting through solder oxide layers
- Signal path during test only 0.082 [2.08]

Adjustable "Z" Height Sockets:
Adjustable for Device Thickness Sockets:
For prototypes of a chip under development that will always have the same footprint, but may have the thickness of the package vary until the design is firmed up, or have a requirement to apply minimum force, and no more, such as with fragile ceramic chips or very thin devices.
Aries has developed a way of making the depth of the pressure pad adjustable, using a micrometer. Other variations include and optical pathway down the center of the adjuster. For Test & Burn-In of CSP, MicroBGA, DSP, LGA, SRAM, DRAM, QFN, PQFP, BGA, Flash Devices, etc..Any Surfance mount device. • Any pitch device on 0.30mm or larger. • Pressure mounting, no soldering required. • 4 Point crown insures scrub” on solder oxides. • Signal path during test only .077” (1.92mm) • Accommodates any package up to 27mm2. • Small overall socket size/profile allows maximum number of sockets per BIB and BIB’s per oven, while being operator friendly.
