Sockets for ICs, Transistors

The 115-87-420-41-003101 application field and working principle is a socket type for Integrated Circuits (ICs) or transistors that, depending on their application, allow the designer to mount the IC or transistor in a socket or direct-on-PCB, without having to solder it. 

The use of those sockets can help in the design process of the product by allowing the designer to quickly and easily replace the components with tested substitutes while debugging, and making it easier to replace incorrect components.

Comparison between sockets and direct-on-PCB

When designing and implementing a product, the choice between a socket-type and a direct-on-PCB type for an IC or transistor is mainly driven by the production cost. Sockets have usually a higher production cost than direct-on-PCB components, as sockets are more complex and difficult to mount. Furthermore, the use of sockets may require using a bigger size of the printed circuit board, while direct-on-PCB may help to save space.

Another important feature is the behavior of the IC/transistor when under heat. If, for instance, the product may be exposed to temperatures up to 40 °C, it may be better to use a socket-type that allows the replacement of the component with another one if necessary, than using a direct-on-PCB that may suffer potential permanent damage at those temperatures.

Working Principle of the 115-87-420-41-003101

The 115-87-420-41-003101 is a socket type IC/transistor that follows the general operations procedure of socket types. It consists of three main parts: the socket body, the IC/transistor itself, and the contact points.

The socket body is where the other two parts, the IC/transistor, and the contact points, are mounted. It has two major functions: to secure the IC/transistor (preventing unexpected displacement and falls) and to provide contact points with the environment. This socket body is usually made out of plastics to avoid the risk of short circuits. 

The IC/transistor component is the element that will perform the required operations needed by the design, being this the main component of the assembly. It is usually mounted on the socket body with spring-loaded metal clips that provide a secure mount for the component, ensuring it will remain in correct position even while the product is subjected to constant motions. 

Finally, the contact points are located on the back side of the socket body and provide connection between the IC/transistor and the printed circuit board. Each contact point will be mounted to the printed circuit board independently, providing secure connections and reducing the effects of external elements such as vibration or shock.

Conclusion

The 115-87-420-41-003101 is a socket type IC/transistor designed to provide designers with an easy and cost-effective way to integrate ICs and transistors in its products, while helping against incorrect components or component characteristics due to temperature changes. This type of socket is composed by three main parts: the socket body, the IC or transistor, and the contact points, making it easy to integrate in any design.
