The device uses the Grypper contacting technology that allows the test socket to be placed in the exact location as the device. The Grypper socket has the same footprint as the device and requires no lid to hold the device in the socket. The device simply snaps into the socket.

The Grypper is a surface mount technology socket, and replicates the actual device, which is reflowed to the PCB. The socket can be ordered with SAC 305 solder balls or Eutectic allowing easy replacement on to a PCB that already has components on the board.
