Low temperature LCC chip carrier

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the challenges of finding low temperature LCC (Leadless Chip Carrier) components capable of operating at temperatures below 77K. Participants noted that most commercially available LCCs are only rated for temperatures down to -70°C. A practical solution suggested involves testing various brands by submerging them in liquid nitrogen (LN2) to assess their performance at low temperatures. It was also mentioned that certified components for space missions are available but come at a premium price.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of low temperature measurement techniques
  • Familiarity with LCC (Leadless Chip Carrier) components
  • Knowledge of liquid nitrogen (LN2) handling and safety
  • Awareness of space mission component certification processes
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the performance of different LCC brands at low temperatures
  • Investigate custom LCC manufacturing options for low temperature applications
  • Learn about the certification processes for space-grade electronic components
  • Explore liquid nitrogen testing protocols for electronic components
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, researchers, and technicians involved in low temperature electronics, particularly those working with LCC components for scientific or aerospace applications.

I need a LCC for low temperature measurement down to 10K or at least 77K. but I couldn't find any LCC capable of operating at that low temp. most commercially available LLC can only operate -70C. how you guys find a LCC operating below 77K? is it custom made?

We just used regular ones for 77K, they aren't rated for that but that's mostly because there isn't much of a market.

Buy a couple of different brands from the normal supplier catalogs, dump them into LN2 a few dozen times and see if any of them break. We found they all worked fine.

Of course if you have space mission budget there is probably somebody that will sell you exactly the same part with certification that it works at 77K - after they have done the same dunk test!
 
OK. thanks a lot.
