While our standard line of receptacle products will work for a broad number of applications, there are occasions when a standard receptacle just won't work for your purpose. Perhaps you require longer solder tails, or need to increase the height of the socket off the board. Maybe you have a test socket with an unusual footprint, or you may even have a specific configuration in mind to accommodate your test hardware. Whatever the case RST can make a receptacle that meets those unique requirements.

We have produced hundreds of custom configurations for our customers in the past. The customization list is practically endless - with receptacles made for specialized docking plates, E-Beam chambers, 'Z' stack-ups, alignment plates, holes, windows, cutouts, multiple pattern overlays, ground sink options and multi-pin combinations. Below are photos of some custom receptacles illustrating some of the features we can build into them.
