Custom test sockets are traditionally expensive to build and maintain. To reduce these costs, consider:
· Using rapid prototyping techniques to build a housing
· Using replaceable Z-Axis Connectors. |

Depending on board layouts and compressed height, these sockets or test fixtures can achieve high numbers of mate/de-mate cycles and operate at GHz frequencies. In many cases, they are significantly less expensive than traditional mechanical alternatives.
