The DaVinci 112 high-speed test socket is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of chip testing. It supports large-size chips up to 130x130mm with more than 30,000 input/outputs and a coplanarity tolerance of up to 0.65mm, effectively preventing connection issues due to poor coplanarity and ensuring superior signal integrity.
Smiths Interconnect’s R&D team developed an innovative mechanical structure to prevent socket warping, a common challenge in high pin-count and high-power testing applications. This design enhancement guarantees reliable ground contact, delivering improved power transmission and signal isolation. Additionally, the DaVinci 112’s use of advanced IM conductive materials offers robust mechanical stability, making it an ideal choice for high-speed, high-power chip testing in sectors such as high-performance computing, data centers, and mobile devices.
Frank Zhou, Global R&D Director of Smiths Interconnect Semiconductor Test Division, shared his pride in the DaVinci 112’s recognition, stating, “We are honored by the positive feedback from both customers and the market. Smiths Interconnect remains committed to pushing the boundaries of technology, embracing innovation, and prioritizing customer needs as we look forward to introducing the next game-changing products in our DaVinci series.”
