This alloy addresses the need for a low resistance alloy product, with traditional alloy mechanical performance characteristics. Higher power density chip sets are facing a constraint at the connector interface. Alloy 390 provides the deflection range required by these high pin count devices, and by way of superior electrical and thermal conductivity, eliminates the resistive heating that plagued other high performance alloy solutions. Designs are now active with burn in and test socket applications and land grid array microprocessor applications. Handheld communication device manufacturers have expressed an interest in the alloy as a means of enhancing battery life and reducing charging times. BRUSHWELLMAN Engineered Materials 390 |
