Socket modules and socket cards are the electro-mechanical interface between the programmable semiconductor device and the programmer. The robust design is ideal for manufacturing and design environments where high signal integrity and reliable performance are critical.
The sophisticated technology of BPM Microsystems’ active circuitry delivers the cleanest waveform signals to the device by eliminating noise, ground bounce, and overshoot, and allows for the most reliable vector testing available to ensure the highest quality and overall yield.
BPM Microsystems offers a substantial number of socket modules and socket cards to support thousands of devices from over 125 semiconductor manufacturers. New socket module and socket card designs are continuously added and can be developed quickly to meet your programming needs.
Our socket modules and socket cards provide you with the best combination of programming quality and cost of ownership.

HIC (High Insertion Count) socket modules, also known as long-life socket modules are designed for customers with high volume production requirements who aim for maximum programming yields.
These socket modules are rated to from 200,000 to 300,000 insertions and support multiple package types. In addition, pogo pins can be replaced to extend the life of the socket. Ultimately, our HIC socket modules ensure productivity, long-term reliability, and very low operating cost per insertion.
Compatible Programming Models: 1410, 1610, 2610,1710, 2710, 2800F, 2800F-MK2, 3000FS, 3710-MK2, 4710, Helix-TR, Helix-TU, HelixFS-TR, HelixFS-TU

For a flexible and economic programming solution, universal socket modules are offered to support PLCC and DIP packages. The SM84UP supports over 5,000 PLCC devices with the use of individual templates to accommodate different pin counts. Templates for 20, 28, 32, 44, 52, 68, and 84 pin devices are included with each module. The SM48D, one of the earliest socket module designs, supports over 6,000 DIP devices.

Get the most out of your socket module with our individual replacement socket daughter cards. Unlike our competitors’ “gang” cards that are soldered to a common PCB, our customers can optimize the number of socket daughter cards needed and replace them individually without dramatically affecting programming capacity. This fault-tolerant design increases manufacturing up-time and saves replacement costs by as much as 75 percent.
Compatible Programming Models: 1410, 1610, 2610,1710, 2710, 2800F, 2800F-MK2, 3000FS, 3710-MK2, 4710, Helix-TR, Helix-TU, HelixFS-TR, HelixFS-TU, 2800

Our receptacle-base socket modules and socket cards include a receptacle interface between the printed circuit board and the socket. This allows our customers to replace only the individual consumable socket once it reaches its useful life.
This has proven to extend the life of the socket module and socket card, producing higher yields and lowering programming cost per device.
Compatible Programming Models: 1410, 1610, 2610,1710, 2710, 2800F, 2800F-MK2, 3000FS, 3710-MK2, 4710, Helix-TR, Helix-TU, HelixFS-TR, HelixFS-TU, 2800
