Sockets for ICs, Transistors

The 18-68660-10 socket is a special type of socket typically used for integrated circuits (ICs) and transistors that provides an efficient and secure connection between the IC or transistor and the circuit board. These sockets are designed to support higher numbers of pins than other types and offer increased electrical stability and resistance to shock and vibration.The 18-68660-10 socket can be used for a wide range of applications, including single-ended switching of analog and digital signals, switching of input/output voltages, input/output current carrying operations, and transmitting signal integrity. This socket is also suitable for applications involving multiple ICs and transistors, as well as for general-purpose tasks where the resistance to vibration is necessary.The 18-68660-10 socket is a surface mount design, meaning that the socket is connected to the PCB through metal solder pads and soldered in place. This allows for improved signal integrity and contact stability, as well as a much lower profile than through-hole components. Additionally, the surface mount design allows connections to be made without the need to solder individual wires, greatly reducing assembly time and labour costs.The socket itself consists of four main components: the base, the contacts, the shield, and the screws. The base is typically constructed from either brass or stainless steel, while the contacts are typically made of gold-plated spring steel. This combination of materials offers a highly reliable connection and electrical conductivity while also providing resistance to corrosion. The shield is usually made from plastic and serves as a dust and debris barrier, while the screws are typically made from nickel-plated brass to ensure secure connection to the PCB.The working principle of the 18-68660-10 socket is fairly straightforward. When a chip or transistor is seated in the socket, the pins of the chip or transistor make physical contact with the contacts of the socket. This contact allows electrical signals to flow from the chip or transistor, through the socket, into the PCB. The shield then prevents any debris from entering the socket and causing damage or interference. Additionally, the screws can provide additional mechanical support, ensuring the chip or transistor remains securely seated in the socket.In conclusion, the 18-68660-10 socket is a high-performance and reliable connection solution for a variety of applications requiring a secure connection to the PCB. Its surface mount design makes it perfect for applications where space is at a premium, and the combination of materials used for its construction ensures excellent electrical stability, reliably, and resistance to vibration.
