A FASTsocket is an upgradeable socket that helps protect a customer's test board investment by anticipating the next generation of integrated circuits (IC) pinouts – by simply switching out the cartridge, test engineers can use existing equipment and test boards, saving both time and money. Moreover, these innovative, custom designed sockets provide a highly flexible test and burn-in solution, which can help reduce time-to-market for suppliers of ICs.
