CUSTOM TEST SOCKET DESIGN
Push the limits of what you can expect with a custom test socket design. Our custom test sockets and lids are designed and built from the ground up to accomplish what off-the-shelf sockets can’t.
CUSTOM TEST SOCKET DESIGN OPTIONS
Custom test sockets offer the most flexibility to design, material, interface types, and accessibility to your DUT/UUT. The example below shows a variety of design options that can be applied to most socket orders. Discuss what design options are available for your next project with an RTI engineer today.
Built From Scratch: RTI’s Custom Test Sockets are Designed to Your Device and Environment
We build custom test socket designs for complex UUTs (units under test) and custom DUTs (device under test). Our custom sockets are ideal for applications where socket design and test requirements are not met by standard off-the-shelf solutions. This includes, but is not limited to burn-in, failure analysis, high current, high performance, temperature testing, RF characterization, and more.
We build high-performance and reliable sockets designed for your DUT or UUT and test applications. Custom pogo pins, stamped gold contacts, Silmat(TM), and elastomeric contact sets may be developed for specialized applications. We have various design options from custom footprints to low-profile, contacts on any side of your device to interfaces with auto-handlers, open socket bases to open lids, and more.
