510-AG90D-10

Sockets for ICs, transistors, and other components, like the 510-AG90D-10, enable electrical connections to be made and broken with ease. This allows engineers and designers to quickly experiment with adding or removing components within a given circuit. As such, sockets for ICs, transistors, and other components are an integral part of many different design projects, from prototype electronics to large-scale production lines.The 510-AG90D-10 is a DIP (dual-in-line package) socket with 90 pins and is used to connect integrated circuits (ICs). It features an insulated open-top case, designed for through-hole mounting, as well as gold-plated metal contacts and a high-temperature plastic body. The high-temperature plastic body is particularly important, as it helps the socket withstand high temperatures that would otherwise cause wear and tear on the metal contacts.The 510-AG90D-10 is an edge-connect type socket, meaning it can only be used to connect devices that have pins arranged in a single row along one edge, such as Intel x86 chips and most other modern ICs. Its gold-plated metal contacts ensure a reliable connection between the socket and the device, while its open-top case allows the IC to be easily inserted and removed. This makes the socket especially useful when prototyping electronics or testing ICs in various configurations.The working principle of the 510-AG90D-10 is relatively simple. When a device with 90 pins is inserted into the socket, the gold-plated metal contacts make contact with the corresponding pins of the device. This establishes an electrical connection between the device and the socket, allowing current to flow freely between them. When the device is removed from the socket, the contacts break and the circuit is broken. Sockets such as the 510-AG90D-10 are used in a variety of applications, from hobby electronics to high-tech production lines. In hobby electronics, they enable users to quickly change out ICs and test various configurations, while in production lines, they enable engineers to quickly change out defective ICs or add new components. In addition, they can also be used to program embedded devices, such as microcontrollers, or to test ICs before they are soldered onto a circuit board.Overall, the 510-AG90D-10 is an essential tool for electronic prototyping and production. Its high-temperature plastic body and gold-plated metal contacts ensure a reliable connection between the socket and the device, while its open-top case allows the device to be easily inserted and removed. Thanks to its versatility, the socket can be used in a wide range of applications, from prototyping electronics to large-scale production lines.
