AR4HT series CSP sockets accept any area-array device for high-temperature testing up to +200°C. Incorporate a low-profile 0.45mm contact structure (compressed) that is shorter than other low-profile contacts. Provide compliance for reliable ATE testing and burn-in. Accommodate BGA, LGA, QFN, DFN, CSP, MLCC and PoP, as well as bumped die with full and partial arrays. Full socket operating temperature is -55° to +200°C, with a life expectancy of more than 10,000 actuations. Socket can accommodate IC devices with a pitch of 0.4mm or greater, as well as mixed pitch environments. Interposer set is comprised of silver particles within a silicon elastomer with a polyimide core. Initial contact force is 20 to 30gm per lead. Available in custom sizes.

2600-093 Micro-Kiss series mix-dispense valves are designed for low-flow mixing and dispensing of two-component adhesives and sealants, such as silicones, epoxies, urethanes and acrylics. Are used to apply two-part adhesives and sealants for bonding, gasketing, potting and filling processes. Are based on Micro-Kiss No-Drip valve body design for low-flow fluid control using bayonet-style static mixers. Integrate carbide ball-end needles with carbide seats. Have individual actuator valves for Part-A and Part-B materials. On-off actuation of the valves provides controlled flow of each fluid component into the mixer; ideal for mix ratios wider than 1 to1. Are double air actuated for 4-way pneumatic valve connections.
