Sockets for ICs, Transistors (116-93-322-61-007000) are used in many applications and are primitive in principle. A socket, often referred to as an Integrated Circuit (IC) socket, is a device that mounts an IC or transistor and allows access for its signal lines and power supply. The socket also has the purpose of connecting a printed circuit board to the IC or transistor.

The sockets are used to reduce the number of component soldering operations, to allow the handling of ICs or transistors without gripping them by the leads, and for debugging and/or prototyping a system at the board level. Generally speaking, sockets fit components with up to 28 pins but some commercial-grade socket products can accept larger packages with various pin configurations, sometimes up to 1000 pins.

The design of the socket consists of several layers of rigid plastic material which are molded in such a way that a number of contact pins are arranged in the desired pattern such as a square, T, DIP, PGA, or PQFP. The contacts are made of nonmagnetic metal such as phosphor bronze, beryllium copper, or most often a combination of these metals. The contact pins are formed into a pattern, which is slightly bigger than the desired pattern. Additionally, each contact area of the socket is surrounded by a metal shield or ground for minimized crosstalk and increased EMI grounding.

Terry Jordan, Technical Manager of GOLF, likes to explain how the sockets function. “When an IC or transistor is placed into the socket, the contact pins are forced up against the contact pads of the component. This movement slightly distorts the plastic envelope of the socket and locks the component in place. The contact points in the socket are necessary to ensure the proper transfer of current and voltage from the printed circuit board to the component – enabling the component to function as desired”

The sockets can be directly mounted into a board and be connected via leads and surface mount technology connections. Many IC sockets are commercial products and sold separately, while transistors sockets can be either commercially available products or be custom designed for a particular application. A major benefit to using sockets for integrated circuits is the ability for the circuit to be easily repaired or exchanged if it fails without the need to remount the component.

The 116-93-322-61-007000 socket is a very popular option due to the numerous possible configurations it offers. The socket comes with a number of helpful features, such as a gold plated contact, anti-tar oxidation protection, and a mounting frame. This allows for a higher level of reliability when compared to other socket types, while also reducing the risk of circuit damage due to vibration or shock.

The 116-93-322-61-007000 socket is designed to be compatible with a wide variety of components and is often used in industrial, automotive, robotics, aerospace, and military applications. The socket’s versatile bent-pin design reduces the likelihood of accidentally touching any adjacent pins and ensures that the IC or transistor contacts make a secure connection. Additionally, the pins come with higher clamping force than other sockets which ensures better equalizing and low contact resistance.

In conclusion, the 116-93-322-61-007000 socket is a reliable, cost-effective solution for many industrial, automotive, robotics, aerospace, and military applications. With its versatile bent-pin design and increased clamping force, the socket makes an ideal choice for many applications needing an IC or transistor connection.
