64-9508-20

64-9508-20 Application Field and Working PrincipleSockets for ICs, Transistors and other semiconductor devices are generally designed and manufactured to support designated components from various manufactures. These components can come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and power ratings. In order to operate reliably and safely, components must be inserted into properly designed sockets that provide the necessary protection and connection.The 64-9508-20 socket family is an affordable, dependable, and compact solution designed for a wide range of applications. These sockets can accommodate components ranging from small DIPs to large 256 PGA packages, providing both compliance and protection for the device in use.In addition to providing protection, the 64-9508-20 sockets are designed to properly connect the component to the PCB. This connection is achieved through an array of metal pins containing copper alloy contacts which pull up onto the lead frame of the device. Both the socket and the lead frame are designed to provide maximum contact area, making it possible to accommodate both large and small components with the same socket.Once the components are properly inserted and fastened into the socket, they are then ready to be soldered onto the PCB. The socket itself is designed with solder tails and can be connected to the PCB’s interconnect layer directly, eliminating the need to make custom wiring harnesses or connectors. This saves time and money during the assembly process. For added safety, the 63-9508-20 sockets are certified to UL standards and conform to IPC-J-STD and IEC 60068-2-20. This ensures the highest levels of safety and protection when connecting components to the board.Overall, the 63-9508-20 sockets provide an inexpensive, reliable, and easy to use solution to connect components to a PCB. The wide range of applications, UL safety certifications, and solder tail connectivity make this socket family a great choice for any project.
