Sockets for ICs, Transistors are a form of connector used to mount ICs and transistors onto a printed circuit board (PCB). The socket offers an easier and safer way of inserting the parts than directly soldering them onto the board. 714-43-117-31-018000 is a type of socket for ICs and transistors and is well known for its application to the semiconductor industry. This article focuses on the application field and working principle of this specific socket.

Application field

The 714-43-117-31-018000 is suitable for applications in various fields. ICs and transistors are core components in circuits. Therefore, 714-43-117-31-018000 sockets are widely applied in the semiconductor industry to mount these active electronic components. Specifically, they are used to mount high frequency IC components, such as amplifiers, comparators, oscillators, logic gates, and D/A converters, thus enabling circuitry to have a higher frequency reaction. Also, the sockets are suitable for mounting digital or analog signal ICs, such as memory chips, A/D converters and digital signal processor (DSP) chips.

Moreover, 714-43-117-31-018000 sockets are designed to meet military and aerospace applications as well. Electronics in these industries must be able to work reliably in harsh environmental conditions. The sockets have enhanced durability even under high shock, temperate cycling and vibration conditions. Thus, they are used to mount devices in applications such as in tanks, aircrafts and ships.

Working principle

There are two parts to the 714-43-117-31-018000 socket, the body and the contact pins. The body is a connector housing made from thermoplastic. It has clip features built-in to assist with the correct positioning and retention of the ICs and transistors. The contact pins are made from beryllium copper alloy which offers long-term reliability. The pins are spring loaded, which ensures that electrical or thermal contact is maintained during operation.

The 714-43-117-31-018000 is a surface mount IC socket. It is mounted in the same way as surface mount integrated components, i.e. a solder paste is applied to the PCB followed by the IC being placed in the socket and the whole assembly is then heated. During the heating process, the brazing alloy melts and forms an electrical and mechanical connection between the socket and the PCB.

The socket also has the capability to be socketed. This is done by opening the body of the socket, inserting the device and closing the body, making sure the device is properly in position and contacting the contact pins. The IC is securely retained in the socket by means of a latching mechanism.

Conclusion

In conclusion, 714-43-117-31-018000 is a type of socket for ICs and transistors designed for mounting ICs and transistors onto PCBs during the manufacturing of circuits. It is used in various industries including the semiconductor and the military/aerospace industry to mount ICs and transistors. The working principle of the socket includes a body made from thermoplastic, contact pins made from beryllium copper alloy and solder brazing technology.
