Sockets for ICs, transistors, and other electronic components provide a reliable connection between an integrated circuit and a circuit board. These sockets are indispensable in many commercial and industrial applications, offering significant advantages over soldering processes for connecting components.

210931-1 Application Field and Working Principle

The 210931-1 Socket is a high-performance, four-balanced contact, molded socket designed for use with industry-standard DIP (dual in-line package) ICs (integrated circuits) and high-frequency transistors. This socket works by including a series of magnetic pins that interlock with the mating IC contacts in order to provide a reliable and secure connection.

The 210931-1 socket is suitable for use in a wide range of commercial and industrial applications, including automotive electronics, communications systems, home entertainment systems, manufacturing robots, medical equipment, and other consumer electronics. Its compact size allows for mounting in both traditional and novel applications, such as embedded systems. This socket also offers an economical alternative for applications that require short-term connections or where reliability is not essential.

The 210931-1 socket features a four-balanced strategy that works to ensure reliable contact pressure on mating IC contacts. This strategy utilizes a series of mechanical aligners which are located in the four corners of the socket and help to keep the pins and contacts in alignment while also providing reliable, uniform contact pressure. At the same time, this socket also allows for pre- and post-application adjustment of contact pressure in order to maintain reliability over time, and to reduce maintenance costs.

The user friendly design of the 210931-1 socket also helps to simplify assembly and maintenance. This socket is easy to assemble and features an easy tool-free removal process. This removal process allows for easy access to the IC for repairs or replacement without the need to power down the system or remove components from the printed circuit board.

The 210931-1 socket is a reliable and cost-effective solution for connecting industry-standard DIPs and transistors. It has a wide variety of applications, offers flexible contact pressure adjustment features for reliable contact performance, and features a user-friendly assembly and removal process. This socket is an ideal choice for a variety of commercial and industrial applications.
