Galileo Test Socket

Elastomeric Solutions for Digital High Speed & PoP Test

Banner Image ALT

Galileo is an innovative, low-profile test socket engineered to support today’s high-performance Digital and RF applications. Using a unique “universal” elastomer contact assembly, Galileo supports almost any standard package pinout, on any pitch (or multiple pitches) at >0.35mm, in any configuration, with no extra tooling charges. A single socket can be re-used across multiple pitches and pad/ball placement. In addition, no contact alignment or registration holes are required in the PCB, enabling quick and easy board integration.

For advanced node devices, solder-down performance is becoming a requirement for characterization, debug, and Failure Analysis testing.
