Verticon® 100 BGA
The Verticon® 100 BGA socket /contactor is an elastomer based contactor technology featuring a combined contact profile, and proprietary plating, and solid contact dynamics providing low inductance and stable contact resistance under multiple (production) landing test conditions. The overall design architecture of the Verticon® 100 contactor enables functional test hardware interface compliance as required by precision analog/mixed signal, high speed digital and RF SOCs’ up to the millimeter wave frequency domain.
Under the continuous demand for bandwidth paving the way to 40G/100G Ethernet data rates, the Verticon® 100 performance remains unsurpassed in commercial Ethernet infrastructure SOC validation requiring extremely low jitter characteristics.
Moving to the frequency domain, Verticon® 100 equally supports the bandwidth and test requirements for millimeter wave devices ranging from commercial satellite and licensed point-point bands up to the latest 77GHz automotive radar band.

Precision Measurements
The short contact length and solid contact architecture of the Verticon® 100 BGA contactor provides an ideal test interface for RF SOCs (up to 85GHz millimeter wave frequencies), high speed digital (40G/100G) and precision analog/mixed signal device applications.
- Low Self Inductance (L): 0.21 nH
- High Frequency Bandwidth: -1dB @ 68 GHz, -1.5dB @ 85GHz
- Low, Repeatable CRES: Ave. < 50mΩ
Repeatable Results
The solid contact architecture of Verticon® 100 BGA provides a consistent electrical path length to reduce measurement variances and production retests increase first pass test yields.
- High First Pass Yields
- Low Test Measurement Variance, High Cpks’
Low Maintenance
Verticon® 100 BGA has a patented self-cleaning micro-wipe action that breaks through bump oxides and clears contact tip debris – resulting in extended MTBA cycles. Contact replacement is a quick spare cartridge replacement on-site.
- Self-Cleaning Micro-Wipe action for Extended MTBA
- Replaceable Cartridge for Fast MTTR
- Long Life Contacts
