40 GHz Bandwidth Socket for 0.5 mm Pitch QFN Packages



Ironwood Electronics has recently introduced a new high performance QFN socket for 0.5mm pitch QFN 24 pin IC's. The DG-QFN24C-01 socket is designed for a 4X4mm package size and operates at bandwidths up to 40 GHz with less than 1dB of insertion loss. The sockets are designed to dissipate up to several watts without extra heat sinking and can handle up to 100 watts with custom heat sink. The contact resistance is typically 3 milliohms per pin. The socket connects all pins and the optional center power pad with 40+ GHz bandwidth on all connections.

The DG-QFN24C-01 is constructed with high performance and low inductance diamond particle interconnect contactor. Contactor is capable of 100,000 insertions. The temperature range is -70 C to +200 C. The pin inductance and Capacitance to ground both approach zero.
