QFN/MLF RF SOCKETS

.5mm Pitch QFN Test Socket

QFN X-Section

Ardent Concepts is focused on helping clients improve electrical efficiencies and reduce costs with innovative spring loaded connector and test socket designs. We design and build custom and off-the-shelf compression mount connectors and test sockets for customers around the world using patented RC Spring Probe™ technology. Industries served include the semiconductor, medical device, military and industrial design sectors.

Multi-GHz RC Spring Probe™ Technology is more robust, more scalable and less expensive than legacy solutions like barrel spring pins or conductive elastomerics. Spring Loaded Connectors and Test Sockets with RC Spring Probe™ technology offer the best possible electrical performance for an all metal-solution, making them the preferred discrete-node alternative to expensive “pogo” style pins. With pitch capability down as low as .3mm and force per node as low as 5 grams, massively parallel interfaces are possible without massive force.

If you have used traditional spring pin, spring probe, or spring loaded connectors for your application, RC Spring Probe™ technology is a clear alternative. Custom Spring Loaded Connectors, PCB interfaces, IC Test Sockets and Device Fixtures are all possible with short lead times from Ardent Concepts.

Ardent Concepts, Inc. – Providing reliable spring loaded connector performance from development to production.

TECHNOLOGY FEATURE SET

Exceptional Signal Integrity is a given with RC Scrub-R Technology. Ardent bench test sockets are cost effective, quick turn and can match existing board footprints. All RC Scrub-R sockets can also be designed for ATE, allowing you to move from development to production with confidence in your socket solution.
