Grypper "Y"
Ironwood Electronics Grypper Y contact is design to work with BGA devices with solder balls/bumps with no equator or small exposure where the standard Grypper cannot reliably hold on to the solder ball. The Y shape, working with the sliding lid, allows reliable contact and ensures device retention in high vibration application. Lower forces, <25 grams, makes insertion easier too and the less aggressive contacting allows 40+ insertions of the same device. The Sliding Lid can be configured to include heat sinking. The Y contact designs cover BGA devices from 0.35mm pitch and larger and the short electrical length has superior electrical performance.
