Integrated
circuit receptacles from DB Design allow for the quick and easy exchange
of sockets without the costly damage of desoldering them from the load
boards. Since sockets wear out more quickly than boards or receptacles,
all leading semiconductor manufacturers and test houses use receptacles
to protect the boards and extend their life.

Design receptacles are engineered to exacting standards and mate with
practically any test or burn-in socket from Yamaichi, Nepenthe, Enplas,
3M/Textool, Plastronics, Wells CTI, and many others. Our proprietary designs
utilize the best contacts and materials available. Standard receptacles
are compatible with socket pitch patterns as dense as 1.00mm. Custom Receptacles
for pitches as small as 0.50mm are also available (see below).
Solid, Standoff, or Standard
Solid: Excellent mechanical support of the test socket because the plastic body of the receptacle sits flush on the load board. This provides added support under test pressure from the handler.
Standoff Body: The best of both worlds where the underside of the receptacle is machined to form standoffs in the corners of the receptacle. It has the mechanical stability of the Solid Body with the maintenance accessibility of the Standard Body.
Standard Body: The barrels of the contact pins extend out from the plastic body in order to create an air gap for easier cleaning after soldering.

The
Notched Corner style is used with some automated test handlers in which
the test socket is mounted to the handler’s metal Docking Plate (interface).
This
is standard for Seiko Epson, Tesam JLSI, Synax and other pick &
place handlers. The Square Corner style is common for hand test or burn-in.
The
Bump™, Flat or
Center
Hole
The
Bump mates with the body contour of the test socket and guides the terminals
of the socket
before
insertion. This DB Design-patented feature allows for quick and easy
assembly and reduces bent or cracked pins. The Bump is available for
most production sockets and on most receptacle body styles.
As
an alternative to The Bump, nearly all DB Design receptacles can be
made flat or with a center hole. The center hole permits access to the
test socket or stacking with other receptacles featuring The Bump.
Grooved
When
the socket terminals have extra long leads that exceed the depth of
the receptacle contacts, DB Design’s receptacles can be
grooved.
This eliminates the gap between the socket and the receptacle body to
mechanically support the socket.
High-Temperature
High-Stress Materials
The
standard material for DB Design’s receptacles is Ultem™. All of
DB Design’s receptacles are available in a variety of high-temperature
/ high-stress materials. For example, Techtron™ (shown here) is
a chemical and temperature-resistant material that virtually eliminates
cracking and 
warping
under extreme conditions. Other materials are available if required.
Custom
Receptacles
DB
Design can design any non-standard features to your specifications.
We have receptacles down to 0.5mm pitch.
DB Design receptacles are available with many different contact types and solder tail lengths. Contact types are usually determined based on mechanical details of the test socket terminals. Contact our sales department for assistance in selecting the correct contact type for your application.
