What is an Interposer

Outstanding Electrical Characteristics

Utilizing a pad defined, isotropic conductive elastomer, the extremely short current path, low resistance, and

ultra-low inductance and capacitance deliver the clearest possible signal to your test equipment; you will have the clearest possible picture of how your chip is performing. These materials have been used with clock speeds beyond 20GHz and currents up to 35 Watts.

How is it different?

Unlike spring pins that are machined, interposers are manufactured using photolithography. With this printing process, contactors can be manufactured at the finest pitches, even down to 0.2 mm.

Due to the low profile design, interposers exhibit superior electrical performance. The electrical length of the contactor is only a fraction of the length of most spring pins resulting in very low capacitance and inductance.

And because of the flexibility in design, interposers can be used for a wide range of footprints, including mixed pitch and custom keepouts. Interposers can even be used as a drop-in replacement for most other sockets.
