48-3552-16

Sockets for ICs, Transistors are devices that allow an integrated circuit (IC) to be connected to a printed circuit board (PCB) in order to produce an electronic circuit. They provide an electrical and mechanical interface between the IC and PCB while also ensuring the power and device signals are correctly routed between the two components. The 48-3552-16 socket is a socket designed for Integrated Circuit (IC) and Transistor application. It is a surface mount device that allows for ICs or transistors to be connected to the PCB surface since it cannot be soldered directly onto a PCB.

The 48-3552-16 application field covers a choice of Printed Circuit Board (PCB) types, such as PCBs with 3.5mm, 4.0mm, 4.5mm, 5.0mm thick and up to 7.62mm. It can also be used with ICs and transistors with a voltage range between 2.25V and 15V, and with a current range between 0.06A and 2A. Additionally, the 48-3552-16 socket is also suitable for any number of mounting types, such as through-hole, press-fit and surface mount.

The working principle of the 48-3552-16 socket is to provide a secure electrical and mechanical connection between an IC or transistor and the PCB. Once the IC or transistor is inserted into the socket, the terminal pins are metalized using temperature controlled pressure. This creates an electrical connection between the pins, allowing the signals to be routed securely, while also providing a mechanical connection, keeping the component in place until the socket is removed.

Also, the 48-3552-16 socket has features such as an integrated test port, allowing for testing before and after installation. The integrated strain relief helps to reduce the stress on the IC or transistor pins which could otherwise cause an intermittent connection or shorts. The socket also has a low profile (around 3mm tall) making it suitable for most applications requiring a low profile device.

In summary, the 48-3552-16 socket is a surface mount device designed to enable an IC or transistor to be mounted directly to a PCB. It provides electrical and mechanical connections between the two components, can be used with a wide variety of mounting options and ICs or transistors. Additionally, it has features such as an integrated test port, strain relief and low profile.
