and Circuits Assembly magazines, focuses on PCB engineering, design and
fabrication, high density interconnect (HDI) and other advanced
circuits. The event is comprised of a 3-Day Technical Conference and a
Professional Development Certificate program, and a two-day exhibition
of industry vendors held on September 16 and 17.
Suggested topics for papers and presentations for the 3-Day Technical Conference include:
30-minute paper sessions
One-hour lectures, presentations or panel sessions
Two-hour workshops or panel sessions
Half-day (3.5 hour) seminars

CSP/BallNest Socket Provides Consistant Test and Burn-In
Aries Electronics introduces the CSP/BallNest Hybrid Socket for test or burn-in of chip scale package, ball grid array, microBGA, land grid array and prototyping. It can be used on any device having a pitch of 0.30 mm or larger. Features include a lid that nests each ball termination into the socket for a reliable connection and a four-point crown providing scrub on solder oxides. It has a signal path of 0.0777 inches and provides minimal signal loss for higher bandwidth capability. Estimated contact life is 500,000 cycles, and the socket is available in custom materials, sizes, configurations and platings. www.arieselec.com
