A test socket is a device used to test the performance of a semiconductor chip after the packaging process. It functions as test InterconnecXion hardware, sorting good and defective chips before the packaged product is shipped. The test socket temporarily holds the packaged chip (the test device) and transmits electrical signals between the test device and the test equipment through mechanical contact.
With advancements in semiconductor packaging technology, ultra-fine pitch, large size, and high pin-count packages are emerging, creating a demand for high-spec test sockets with various shapes for inspection. In response, TSE has developed leading-edge technology for both Spring Pin and Elastomer types, offering a diverse product lineup to supply the optimal test sockets tailored to customer environments.
