Design Notes: This Kelvin Test Socket presented an interesting challenge: Accommodating leads of three different lengths having three different angles of contact. Our Kelvin contact design provided for these precise anchoring demands, without maintenance hindering adhesives. Additionally, our customer required a test socket that could be gripped tightly during the shrink-freeze insertion stage. Our research showed that glass filled Teflon as the socket substrate would meet that requirement. Our customer was especially complimentary on our precision and materials selection.

Design Notes: Also a Kelvin Test Socket, this "is a nice little one, but... as can be seen, there's no rocket science involved here," says the in-house design engineer. This one was also built to withstand extreme freezing and vibration. This is a good example of simple X / Y work that we do.
