CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
It redistributes electrical signals from the larger pitch of the test system's PCB to the finer pitch of the IC pads on the wafer, enabling reliable contact and signal transmission during semiconductor testing.
Typical materials include multilayer ceramic (MLC) or high-performance organic laminate (e.g., BT resin, polyimide) for the substrate, copper for conductive traces, and tungsten or beryllium copper for contact springs.
Reference ranges include operating frequency 1–10 GHz, contact resistance ≤50 mΩ, insulation resistance ≥1000 MΩ, capacitance 0.5–2.0 pF, inductance 0.1–0.5 nH, operating temperature -40 to 85 °C, pitch range 50–500 µm, planarity ≤10 µm, and insertion loss ≤0.5 dB. These must be confirmed for the specific model.
Consider the device's pad pitch, required frequency, thermal environment, and mechanical constraints. Verify that the component's parameters match your requirements, and always consult the manufacturer for model-specific specifications and standards.
