Corporate Overview
Plastronics
was founded over 30 years ago for the exclusive purpose of
designing, manufacturing and marketing high-quality burn-in
sockets. With corporate offices located in Irving,
Texas and a manufacturing facility in Grand Prarie Texas,
Plastronics' mission is simple: "Provide quality,
cost-effective socket solutions to meet the harsh demands
of the burn-in test market."
As semiconductor devices become more complicated and their
packaging becomes smaller and more intricate, the need for
supporting infrastructure, delivered in a timely manner, becomes
more crucial. Plastronics employs a full in-house design and
engineering development team who continually work to develop
socket solutions for the next generation of packaged semiconductor
devices. As the original inventor of the open-top surface
mount device socket and the open-top
Ball Grid Array (BGA) socket, Plastronics is committed
to continue development of new contact methods to meet higher
frequency devices packaged in tighter pitch configurations.
Once
a new socket solution has been designed, Plastronics can move
the product immediately into production at its own manufacturing
facility. By designing and producing all injection molding
tools in-house, Plastronics is able to offer its customers
quick time-to-market solutions for test and burn-in sockets
for the latest packaged devices and assurance that the new
socket has passed stringent in-house inspection processes.
When the product is ready for production, Plastronics offers
a state-of-the-art, fully automated assembly line for all
major product lines thus giving customers a high-quality,
cost effective socket solution for years to come.
Being one of the first socket manufacturers to design and
develop a socket solution for BGA packages, Plastronics holds
a patent on a special contact method that touches and "wipes"
the solder ball on the upper hemisphere. This eliminates the
possibility of unacceptable solder ball deformation and related
problems in package solderability. (Patent
No. 5,419,710).
Having supported the burn-in test market for over 30 years,
Plastronics offers a full line of quality sockets for BGA, QFN, LCC, PLCC, SO, SSOP and LGA packages.
Plastronics has sales
and support representatives across the U.S. ready to answer
your questions and provide quotes for socket solutions that
meet your needs.
