Hanoi - GMT+7, Ironwood Electronics headquarterd in USA, known as a Global leading maker of IC sockets & testing solutions, has completed development on the Imperium thermal control system. This system supports thermal characterization of devices from -50°C to 155°C for low power devices (under 10w), with a supported temperature ramp rate of 80°C per minute. The Imperium system is optimized for benchtop operation, with a minimal footprint in size, weight, and electric load.

Leveraging decades of experience in the socket industry, Ironwood Electronics developed the Imperium system to be easily adaptable to all socketed and soldered applications up to a 40mm x 40mm device size. All test operations have been integrated into the system itself to reduce operator error and enter optimal socket and thermal environment. The unique quick disconnect thermal head allows for easy transport and quick setup between different test platforms, allowing one system to support multiple different end user applications.

IMPERIUM Thermal System 10010W

Ironwood thermal control systems are universally compatible with all sockets, adapters and surface mount components.  Capable of actively controlling device temperatures from -55 – 155°C quickly (< 80°C/min) and with high accuracy (±0.2°C). With an industry first quick disconnect umbilical, many applications can be adapted to use the same benchtop unit.

• Benchtop Size: Imperium 10010W is intended for low power (<10 W) temperature control from -55°C to +150°C, resulting in a compact bench-top unit with low acoustic noise. The universal 115-250 volt power requirement and small size, just 410 x 282 x 150 mm (11 x 6 x 16 in) and only 8.7 kg (19 lb), makes it easy to move and use anywhere in the lab.
• Umbilical Test Head: The detachable Thermal Head contains internal pneumatics for precise force control from 0-80 kg, perfect for use with high performance, but more force sensitive, elastomer contacts, while the quick disconnect makes it easy to swap heads for different package sizes or transfer between sites
• Frost-Free Operation: Integrates with all high performance test sockets, creating a seal between the test head and socket body for frost free operation. Optional shrouds are available to extend the frost free zone outside the socket area.
• Excellent Thermal Performance: Temperature Control and Accuracy is within +/-0.2°C. Ramp rates up to 80°C
