Exploring the Diverse World of Test Sockets

Your Guide to Choosing the Perfect Fit

At Azimuth Electronics, we understand the importance of selecting the right test socket for your specific needs, which is why we're here to unravel the intricacies of the different types available in the market. 


Different type of test sockets


1. DIP Test Sockets

DIP (Dual In-line Package) test sockets are a staple in electronics testing, particularly for older generation integrated circuits (ICs) that feature a traditional dual in-line packaging format. These sockets provide a secure and reliable connection between the IC and the testing equipment, facilitating accurate functional testing and validation procedures.

2. PGA Test Sockets

PGA (Pin Grid Array) test sockets are designed to accommodate ICs with a pin grid array packaging configuration, where the pins are arranged in a grid pattern on the underside of the device. These sockets offer excellent compatibility and signal integrity, making them ideal for testing high-density ICs commonly found in modern electronic devices.

3. QFN Test Sockets

QFN (Quad Flat No-leads) test sockets are specifically tailored for ICs with a quad flat no-leads packaging format, characterized by a flat, square-shaped body with exposed pads on the underside. These sockets utilize advanced contact technologies to ensure reliable electrical connections with minimal signal loss, making them indispensable for testing compact and high-performance semiconductor devices.

4. BGA Test Sockets

BGA (Ball Grid Array) test sockets cater to the testing needs of ICs featuring a ball grid array packaging configuration, where solder balls are arranged in a grid pattern on the underside of the device. These sockets employ innovative interconnect solutions to establish secure connections with the IC, enabling precise testing of advanced semiconductor devices with increased pin counts and miniaturization.
