Listen to our on demand webinar introducing the high-performance Levan elastomeric socket, developed by Smiths Interconnect. This innovative socket minimizes ball damage and is designed to accommodate devices with pitches starting at 0.3mm and larger, offering superior electrical performance due to its conductive columns in the elastomeric grid. With a temperature range of -55°C to +160°C, the Levan elastomer contact sockets are engineered for excellence.

Our expert will provide insights into the electrical and mechanical principles behind these sockets, explore test applications, and compare them to traditional probe sockets. Discover how Levan elastomer contact sockets can optimize test costs, enhance efficiency, and reduce lead times for IC testing.

Key takeaways:

  • Introduction to elastomeric technology
  • Overview of the Levan elastomer socket features, key applications and solutions
  • Comparisons to probe test sockets
