20-4508-30

Sockets for ICs, transistors, and other components are widely used in electronic circuitry. The use of these sockets makes it possible to repair or replace components quickly and easily, without having to completely re-assemble or re-wire the entire device. The 20-4508-30 is a popular socket used for a variety of electronic applications.

The 20-4508-30 socket is compatible with chips having a Dual-in-Line (DIP) package with 8 terminals. It is designed to accept components with body widths ranging between 0.1” and 0.300”. The external dimensions of the socket are 0.360” x 0.300” x 0.285” (depth x width x height). The socket is made from phosphorus bronze to provide durable contacts. It is also gold-plated for enhanced electrical conductivity.

The 20-4508-30 socket can be used to connect a wide range of integrated circuits (IC) such as 555 timers, drivers, voltage regulators, logic gates, and many other digital circuits. It can also be used to connect transistors, resistors, capacitors, thermistors, and other components. This makes it a great choice for prototyping boards, breadboards, and other applications.

The contact pins in the 20-4508-30 socket are arranged in a specific pattern to facilitate easy installation and removal of the component to be inserted. The pins are designed to ensure secure electrical connections and prevent unintentional removal of the component. The socket has an open bottom which prevents the device from slipping out once it is securely inserted. This increases the reliability of the connection.

The 20-4508-30 socket is available in a range of colors to match the board on which it has to be mounted. This makes it easier to find the component when troubleshooting or replacing a part. The socket is designed to meet certain standards and specifications, so it can be used confidently in different applications. The socket is also UL approved, making it reliable and safe in applications where safety is critical.

The working principle of the 20-4508-30 socket is quite simple. The contact pins are arranged such that, when the component is inserted, there is an electrical connection between the pins and the legs of the component. This contact creates a current or voltage between the component and the system, allowing the component to function properly. The open bottom prevents the component from slipping out by providing an additional layer of security.

In conclusion, the 20-4508-30 socket is a versatile device that can be used for a variety of applications. It is compatible with many types of ICs, transistors, resistors, capacitors, and other components. It is designed to provide a secure and reliable connection between the component and the system. The contacts and open bottom of the socket provide added security against unintentional removal of the component. The socket is UL approved, making it reliable in critical and safety-sensitive applications.
