40-6552-18

Sockets for ICs, Transistors are widely used in modern technical environments. The 40-6552-18 socket is designed to host an 8-pin integrated circuit or chip, or a transistor. It can also be used to switch between two basic types of components with the same 8-pin layout. The socket is wired to the host board so that it can be configured for different types of components.

40-6552-18 Socket Components

The 40-6552-18 is a simple socket and includes three pieces that typically come preassembled. This 8-pin IC socket consists of an 8 way DIL header, a retention clip that holds the ICs in place, and a plastic molded insulation base. It also includes a center mounting hole for attachment.

40-6552-18 Application Field

The 40-6552-18 socket usage can generally be classified into three main categories. First, it is common for 8-pin micro controllers and small logic digital ICs. Second, this socket is ideal for power transistors as well as logic ICs. Finally, the socket can also be used to replace a chip-on-board IC in order to provide better protection from potential damage and provide better heat dissipation.

40-6552-18 Working Principle

The 40-6552-18 socket works by connecting an integrated circuit, or transistor, to a circuit board. The IC is inserted into the 8-pin socket and a retention clip secures it in place. The socket is wired to the board and the signal pins of the IC are then in contact with the printed circuit board and the connections to the board are complete.

The 40-6552-18 socket is designed to provide an easy way to connect digital components with an 8-pin layout. They are most commonly used for connecting small logic and power transistors. The socket also provides additional benefits, such as improved protection from shock and better heat dissipation.
