The E-tec Interconnect MGS female contact system was develop as in certain cases, you are not able to place any test socket on your board because:

- Its density is too high
- It was not designed to accommodate a Test Socket
- The package dimension or layout have changed

The MGS Female contact Adapter System emulates the package dimension and footprint, is easily installed using standard flux and reflow techniques. The solderball adapters have the same solderball types as the package’s they are emulating. You can combine the adapter footprint with any of the E-tec Test socket styles shown in the Test Socket catalogue. The Test Socket is plugged into this adapter, which will be delivered with gold plated through hole pin and alignment plate for easy insertion. We offer any pin-out, configuration and grid size for pitch 0.8mm, 1.00mm and 1.27mm. Other pitch and special terminals designs are possible on request
