Silicon Rubber Test Socket, IC Test Socket Manufacturer

SNOW Co., Ltd. has three types of silicon rubber test socket solutions
with different structures tailored to the type of semiconductor IC and usage environment.

MBP elastomer socket Model 'S' is the thinnest and has the best signal transmission characteristics.

In addition, it is strong against impact and maintains stable resistance even in repeated contact. It is a semiconductor test socket that requires high-speed signal transmission, and it is recommended to use it in a size of 30mmX30mm or less.

MBP elastomer socket : Block structure pin made of Micro Brick Particle (MBP)

Conventional Particle(CP)

The contact surface between particles is small.
-> It is easy to be defective by physical impact.
Metal Brick Particle(MBP)

The contact surface is relatively large.
-> reduced contact resistance

Structure with reinforced bonding between particles
-> strong against physical impact

	Initial	After 300K Cycles@35g/pin,000
MBP Pad			MBP Pad maintains the pad shape even when impacted.
Conventional Particles Pad			CP pad becomes damaged as particles separation takes place due to impact.
