Seiken HC-C (High-Current) IC Socket — Precision, Power, and Performance
Engineered for high-current and high-power device testing, Seiken’s HC-C IC Socket is designed to deliver outstanding current-carrying performance, superior heat dissipation, and long-term reliability under demanding test conditions.
With its proprietary spring structure, each terminal achieves exceptional electrical contact stability and current capacity, ensuring consistent performance for power semiconductor evaluation and burn-in testing.
Advanced High-Current Design for Power Device Testing
Unlike conventional IC sockets that use resin housings, Seiken’s innovative metal housing option for high-current areas—such as around emitter electrodes—dramatically improves both thermal conductivity and current flow efficiency.
This design effectively reduces heat buildup, minimizes terminal degradation (e.g., load loss and reduced spring force), and significantly extends socket lifespan.
Additionally, the socket structure can be customized to separate signal extraction between emitter and gate terminals, accommodating complex power module electrode layouts and non-standard lead pitches.
