ES Series with H Pin Socket | Smiths Interconnect

ES Series H-Pin® Socket

ES family Series of sockets extended the scope of a burn-in socket. The modular lid construction can handle up to 1 kW of power and is optimized with thermal simulation to ensure out-of-the-box performance whether liquid or air cooled. Leveraging a variety of advanced manufacturing techniques and industry-leading automation enables the lowest cost of test. Our patented H-Pin technology provides versatility in the socket application which can be used for ATE and SLT functional testing, in addition to covering the full gambit of burn-in test applications. The ES family Series of sockets is designed for use with all advanced burn-in systems. With adaptation comes unmatched value in delivering cutting-edge technology.

Understanding the Test Criteria of Optical Fiber Transceivers Used in Space

In space, high performance components must be able to deliver reliably in the punishing environment. It is optical transceivers that drive transmissions, converting signals to and from a copper-resident format. Fiber optics communications provide high bandwidth and low latency signaling. Signal transmissions through fiber optic cables (FOCs) provide immunity to EM/RFI interference, crosstalk, and voltage level surges. Fiber optics’ accuracy and reliability exceeds traditional cabling. Covering 1,000 feet requires four pounds of FOC versus 39 pounds of copper wiring, and fiber optics also consume less energy than copper. To convert electrical signals from circuitries with copper output to fiber optics, optical fiber transceivers are usually required.
