What are Semiconductor Sockets?

Semiconductor sockets are specialized devices that interface the semiconductor device under test (DUT) to test equipment, enabling precise and efficient testing of semiconductor components. Sockets combine electrical, mechanical, and thermal aspects into a single assembly to streamline testing or validation of the DUT. Semiconductor sockets can be categorized as test sockets or burn-in sockets.

What is a Semiconductor Test Socket?

Test sockets are used to determine the functionality and performance of a semiconductor device. Test sockets can be used during the entire development process from initial semiconductor design to final production. Test socket features depend on specified test requirements.

What is a Semiconductor Burn-In Socket?

A Burn-in socket is an electro-mechanical device used to accelerate stress on an IC and create infant mortality, allowing the semiconductor company to eliminate weak ICs from the production population. This enables manufacturers to extend the minimum lifetime of final electronic assemblies by ensuring the reliability and quality of semiconductors before they are integrated into electronic devices. Burn-in testing increases overall reliability and reduces warranty claims of electronic products.

Krunter has become established in the industry as a major source of unique connector products that solve a wide variety of packaging problems. From ZIF test sockets to the addition of the Correct-A-Chip adapters product line, to most recently, developing and patenting several concepts for BGA and LGA sockets, and has acquired a high-frequency test and burn-in socket line, furthering growth in the test socket market.

Advantages of Custom Engineering Services

Our custom engineering services provide a variety of unique advantages. These services take into account the specific requirements of each client and their projects, utilizing in-depth industry experience to tailor solutions. For instance, if a business requires an IC product with unique functionality, our custom engineering expert can modify the standard design to meet these specifications. Whether you require a bigger or smaller size or a particular heat resistance requirement, 

Notably, custom engineering can enhance energy efficiency in electrical systems. By reaching out to our expert design engineers, you can obtain custom designs that can optimize the operation of commercial or industrial equipment.

Situations Where Custom Connector Products Are Beneficial

When your company’s specific needs can’t be met by standard connectors, creating custom connectors becomes a great solution. Our design engineers, with their profound knowledge and training, can manufacture custom connector products that are tailored to the exact mechanical and electrical requirements of the client’s systems. Custom connectors can be designed to ensure optimal connection, enhancing the overall performance and energy efficiency of electrical systems. For example, if a standard connector does not meet the necessary specifications for a certain panel or network, a custom connector could be created to fit those needs perfectly. 

Furthermore, custom connector products can become necessary when standard connectors fail to meet the strict quality requirements of certain applications. These custom solutions offer a distinct advantage, from increased reliability to superior performance. As a global leader in providing these solutions, we ensure that our customers’ challenges are met head-on — resulting in an optimized, high-functionality solution that delivers value beyond the cost.
