24-6553-16

The 24-6553-16 is a socket for integrated circuits (ICs), transistors, and other components, used for easy installation and removal of components. It is commonly used in industries such as medical, automotive, aerospace, and defense.

The 24-6553-16 socket is made of thermoplastic with double board pin connections. It is designed for mounting on a 16-pin DIP IC package and facilitates the replacement of components in applications requiring easy installation or removal. It supports zero insertion force (ZIF) applications, which helps minimize damage to the component. The socket also offers dual row contacts for added stability, preventing IC shifting upon insertion.

The 24-6553-16 socket offers a number of features, such as dust covers for corrosion protection, positive latching to prevent IC disengagement, and ribbon cable option for easy installation and replacement. The socket also offers compatibility with a variety of IC packages, including SOIC, QFP, and PQFP. The socket is also equipped with a contact system that is optimized for long-term reliable connection and a solid pin support system that improves temperature and high frequency performance.

The 24-6553-16 socket has many applications in industries such as automotive, medical, aerospace, and defense. For automotive applications, it is used in a variety of systems, such as cruise control, entertainment, navigation, safety, and powertrain control. In the medical industry, the socket is used for patient monitoring, laboratory testing, and imaging equipment. In the aerospace and defense industry, the socket is used in a variety of systems, such as flight control, communications, navigation, and surveillance.

The 24-6553-16 socket’s working principle involves the application of contact force to indicate a contact closure between pins. This contact force is created by a spring-loaded plunger that, with appropriate pressure, engages the contact points in the socket’s contact points. This contact force is provided by a ZIF retaining bar that ensures positive engagement between the socket and the IC package. When an IC is in the socket, a positive latch mechanisms ensures that it is properly installed. The pins on the IC can then be soldered onto the board and the IC can be safely and securely removed for replacement or repair.

In summary, the 24-6553-16 socket is an easy-to-install and practical solution for mounting ICs, transistors, and other components in applications requiring easy installation or removal. It supports ZIF applications, which helps minimize damage to the component, and offers dual row contacts for added stability. The socket also features dust covers for corrosion protection, positive latching to prevent IC disengagement, and ribbon cable option for easy installation and replacement. Its application fields include automotive, medical, aerospace, and defense, and its working principles involve a contact force application to indicate contact closure between pins.
