Sockets for ICs, Transistors

Sockets are specialized devices which are designed for safety, ease-of-use, and high performance in power and signal connections. They are used to provide easy access for servicing, testing, and replacing Integrated Circuits (ICs) and transistors. While most commonly used in electronic equipment, sockets are also used in power supplies, automotive, aerospace, and medical devices.

The 546-83-391-18-101147 socket is a dual in-line socket, designed for ICs or transistors with a 0.6 inch body width and a 0.05 inch pitch. Its professional-grade construction makes it a popular choice for use in high-power and high-signal applications. It features a black thermoplastic housing which is thermally and electrically insulating, and has superior corrosion and temperature resistance. In addition, the socket is rated for 100,000 cycles at 500 volts.

Application Field

The 546-83-391-18-101147 socket is designed for use with ICs and transistors. Its features make it a reliable choice for applications in electronics, power supplies, automotive, aerospace, and medical devices. It can be used to connect ICs anywhere in a circuit or device, allowing for improved testing, servicing, and replacement.

Working Principle

Sockets are composed of a series of cylindrical pins or wires, which are arranged in two or more rows. The IC or transistor is placed into the socket. Depending on the type of socket, the pins may be spring-loaded or rigidly mounted. This ensures a proper connection between the IC or transistor and the circuit.

In the case of the 546-83-391-18-101147 socket, the pins are thermally and electrically insulated from the body of the socket. This insulation reduces the risk of short-circuiting, and provides superior electrical and thermal stability. The socket is rated for up to 100,000 cycles and 500 volts, allowing it to be used in high-power and high-signal applications.
