The standard grounding for most Johnstech contactors utilize contacts, either S-shaped (STH) or ROL™ shaped (RTH) contacts configured in the Torlon housing directly beneath the center of the device package ground pad. Johnstech self-cleaning wipe technology provides improved MTBA (mean time between assists) and lower ground inductance.
In addition to ground contacts in the contactor housing, Johnstech offers ground inserts that can be removed from the contactor housing itself and interchanged as application requirements change. These ground inserts are used for both grounding and thermal requirements.
This insert configuration utilizes multiple contacts in a metal insert to meet the low ground inductance and thermal requirements of the most demanding applications. Available with either S contacts (SCI) or with ROL™ contacts (RCI).
This insert can be used for optimum grounding and thermal requirements during characterization testing where a device might need to be powered up for an extended period of time to determine steady state performance.
The EI Insert is available in 3x3 mm package sizes for Pad ROL™200 Series and Pad Series 2mm test contactors. The high-strength ECO™-1 material provides long-life. The elastomer-based design provides excellent retention in the housing and preload bias to the load board for robust performance.
