14-8470-10

Sockets for ICs, transistors and other contact junctions are designed to protect circuitry while providing easy access to their electrical connections. They are made from a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, and ceramic, and range from a few millimeters (mm) to several centimeters (cm) in size to accommodate all types of devices. One of the more popular types of socket is the 14-8470-10 application field and working principle.

The 14-8470-10 is a printed circuit board socket that works on the same principle as socketed ICs. It is a surface mount technology (SMT) socket with an opened contact surface and pins that interconnect with the pads on the circuit board. The two electrical contacts are designed to give a better connection than soldered joints. This socket has an insulation layer over the contacts to prevent shorts when used in higher frequencies. The 14-8470-10 socket is also designed to accommodate higher currents than other socket types.

When using this socket, the contact profile is designed so that it can withstand high temperature, up to about 280°C, and moisture, and the contact surface is treated with an anti-oxidation coating. The contacts have small insulating pads to prevent damage from abusing electrical characteristics. The pins connecting the socket to the circuit board are held in place by a spring contact mechanism that gives a secure connection.

The spring contact mechanism works on the principle of self-adjustment. When connecting the pins with the circuit board, the spring-loaded contacts adapt themselves to the size of the holes in the circuit board. This self-adjusting mechanism ensures a secure connection and does not need soldering. The pins are insulated to protect the printed circuit board from short circuits caused by external elements like liquids or vapours. The pins are also designed to reduce the risk of damage from vibration.

Another feature of this socket is its flexibility. It can be used in a variety of layouts and configurations, such as wrapped around a corner or in a corner type arrangement for irregularly shaped components. This makes the 14-8470-10 ideal for applications where space is limited. Furthermore, the socket has a low profile with a height of only 1.1 mm, which makes it appealing for applications where space is also a concern.

The 14-8470-10 is a reliable, robust socket that is designed to last and protect circuitry for many years. It is a popular choice in the electronics industry for applications ranging from consumer, automotive, industrial, telecommunications, medical and more. With its flexibility and robust construction, the 14-8470-10 provides a reliable connection and protection for contact junctions.
