Features & Benefits

  • Custom configurations
  • Mixed functionality within single connector
  • Immediate delivery
  • Reliable in shock and vibration environments
  • IDI Spring Probe technology

Overview

 Available with two compressed heights, 4 mm and 6 mm, the symmetrical blocks interlock to allow for simple configuration into any imaginable X-Y pattern. A multitude of probe options permit the benefits of a custom connector design such as intermixing of power and ground functions within the same array. Dovetail connectors, because of their configurable nature, allow designers to solve problems with an innovative contact technology packaged in a field-configurable, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) solution - instantly, easily, and securely. Available for immediate delivery with no tooling required, the Dovetail Connector eliminates the time and expense associated with typical prototype and low to medium volume manufacturing activities.

    What is thermal simulation and why is it important to reliability burn-in testing?

    Not every semiconductor manufacturer utilizes thermal simulation in their reliability testing setup. Lower power burn-in allows for an acceptable temperature rise within the package/die in a traditional burn-in chamber running at 125°C. As packages in burn-in are moving to higher power output, socket and burn-in systems may need to have enhanced features to manage the desired target die temps.
