Smiths Interconnect, a Molex company Peripheral Tri-Temp Test: Celsius Series

Celsius test sockets feature a wiping contact technology perfect for QFN testing. The elastomer is utilized for load board compliance only and allows the contact to be cycled in temperature extremes with no change in contact force or reliability. Featruing 5A continues current carrying capacity and capable -50 to 170deg C test environment. Proprietary contact design with wiping action at device pad to ensure consistent contact resistance. Minimal scrub action to the PCB pad. Features & Benefits Smiths Interconnect's Celsius contact takes advantage of a slightly longer signal path to offer significant advantages in compliance, temperature handling, and current carrying capacity. A self-contained contact, Celsius uses an elastomer only for compliance to the load board and is not repeatedly cycled. This allows the contact to be used at much higher (and lower) temperatures with no change in contact force or reliability. Celsius also has spring probe-like compliance. This can be an advantage in multi-site applications, where nest-to-nest discoplanarity causes yield disparities between sites
