nSockets are available thatnMinimize parasitic inductancenMake good contactnAvoid marking solder ballnSupport many insertionsnAdapt to multiple CSP sizes
nAt-Speed testingnMinimum InductancenShort test times, very high number of insertions
nBurn-in testingnReliability required over thermal cycles
Solder Ball Interface: Many options
n Pinch or Tweezer contactsn Grip top or side of ball to minimize damage at solder
pointn Break oxide on ball, make good contactn Longer contact length to reach top of ball
n Elastomer Contactsn Very short contact, low inductancen Bottom of solder ball contacts elastomern Long life, but elastomer may become contaminated
over time resulting in slow test degradation
nSpring or Pogo-Pin Contactsn Very long life. Failing pins are apparentn Contact bottom of solder balln Inductance depends on length of contact
