Flip-Top™ BGA Test Sockets

Flip-Top™ Test Sockets are engineered for BGA and LGA device test, validation, development, and production socketing applications. Surface mount and through-hole designs from 0.50mm to 1.27mm pitch.

1.00mm and 1.27mm Pitch Flip-Top™ Test Socket Models

Flip-Top Test Socket is designed to save space on new and existing PC boards in test, devlopment, programming, and production applications. Suitable for use with BGA, LGA, or de-balled BGA devices. No external hold-downs (screws, etc.) are required.
