White Paper: The Conundrum: The way to get the piece cost down on a test socket designed to work with a specific device package is to make a set of molds specific to the application. Unfortunately, a set of molds is expensive. If you’re going to make thousands of sockets, you can justify this cost. But for... more
Data Sheet: Aries Electronics' expanded line of Pine Pitch Bump Adapters include adapters that accommodate boards with pitches down to 0.40 mm. As part of the Correct-A-Chip series, the Fine Pitch Bump Adapters allow customers to use higher pitch devices on smaller pitch boards... more
Data Sheet: Aries recently added new BGA Switch-A-Pitch Adapters that adapt to pitch bottoms lower than previous models, expanding this unique product line that economically facilitates the use of smaller pitch devices with larger pitch boards... more
Data Sheet: Aries has expanded its line of CSP (chip scale package)/MicroBGA (ball grid array) test and burn-in sockets with an optional adjustable pressure pad to include a persion that accommodates devices 13 mm squared or smaller, with a pitch of 0.30 mm or higher... more

Data Sheet: Aries Electronics expanded its line of BGA Switch-A-Pitch Adapters that simplify high density interconnect (HDI) construction to enable the use of smaller pitch devices on larger pitch boards. The series now includes models with tops where the BGA landing pads are on a 0.40 mm pitch and adapter... more
Product Literature: Aries Electronics now offers a new high-frequency center probe test socket comprised of a standard molded format that enables the socket to accommodate any device 6.5 mm or smaller. Aries’ versatile center probe test socket is suitable for use with test and dynamic burn-in of CSP, MicroBGA, DSP... more
Application Note: In the late 1980’s, Aries introduced the concept of “Correct-A-Chip Adapters”. The initial designs resulted from applications where a through-hole DIP device became obsolete. Aries innovated the use of PCBs integrated into DIP to DIP adapters where the female pins on the top of the adapter were... more
