24-6518-10

Sockets for ICs, transistors, and other components, such as the 24-6518-10, are designed to mechanically and electrically connect integrated circuits, transistors, and other components to the circuit boards they are used in and allow them to transmit signals. Usually, PCBs are mounted in a plastic housing to create an electrical connection between the IC and the board. The 24-6518-10 socket is a small footprint socket that is designed for use with 8-Pin DIP (Dual In-line Pin) packages.

The 24-6518-10 socket\'s application field is mainly for device programming and manual debugging. It allows users to easily interact with ICs, as it is a small form factor that does not require soldering. As mentioned before, the socket is ideal for prototyping and debugging, as it minimizes setup time and eliminates the need for soldering. In addition, these sockets feature dual-in-line header pins (DIP), which are easy-to-use and are usually found on motherboards.

The 24-6518-10 socket’s main working principle is mechanical connection. The socket is designed with two rows of pins and each row has four pins in a single DIP footprint. The pins are designed to make an electrical connection to the corresponding pins on the IC when the two are inserted into the socket. The socket’s mechanical connection also ensures that the IC is securely seated in the socket so that the contacts between the IC pins and the socket pins are not compromised.

A key feature of the 24-6518-10 socket is that it supports a wide range of ICs. It can accommodate most 8-pin dual in-line packages used today, and additionally supports some 16-pin DIPs and 28-pin DIPs which are used in microcontroller applications. The socket also has an optional plug-in adapter that allows it to be used with other ICs such as the Atmel AVRs and the Microchip PICs.

The 24-6518-10 socket is a great choice for prototyping and debugging applications as it offers a fast and easy connection solution that does not require soldering. The socket supports a wide range of ICs and the two rows of multiple-pin contact points ensure that there is a reliable connection to the IC pins. In addition, the socket is easy to use and does not require specialized tools or soldering.
