220-4842-00-3303

Sockets for ICs, Transistors

The 220-4842-00-3303 is a socket designed for use with a variety of integrated circuits (ICs) and transistors, with the primary purpose of providing a solid connection between these components and the electronics they are connected to. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate different types of components and can also be modified for specific uses.

Application Field

They are used mainly in industrial applications, such as the telecom and computer industries, where high frequency, high power, and long-lasting performance are all essential. These sockets enable mechanical and electrical interface between the ICs and transistors and the host electronic system, preventing damage and greatly increasing the life of the components.

They can also be used in automotive and military applications, providing a sound connection even in extreme temperatures and volatile environments. Utilizing these sockets in these applications improves performance, reliability, and lifespan of the components significantly.

Working Principle

When a component is inserted into the socket, electrical connections are made via multiple pins. The pins then contact corresponding spring-loaded terminals on the socket, providing an electrical connection from the component to the printed circuit board (PCB).

These sockets also provide a mechanical connection between the component and the PCB, often via mounting holes or clips. This ensures a secure connection between the component and the PCB, eliminating movement or jostling that can damage the components.

The sockets are designed with a wide variety of shapes and sizes that are specifically designed for different types of components. For instance, some sockets are suitable only for small-pin devices, while others can accommodate extra-large components.

Conclusion

The 220-4842-00-3303 is a socket designed for use with a variety of ICs and transistors providing a solid connection between these components and the electronics they are connected to. They can be used in several applications, ranging from industrial to automotive to military, improving performance, reliability, and longevity of the components.

These sockets provide an electrical connection from the component to the PCB, via multiple pins and spring-loaded terminals. They also provide secure mechanical connection, often via mounting holes or clips, eliminating movement or jostling that can damage the components.
