Sockets for ICs, Transistors

Sockets are designed to allow integrated circuits and transistors to be easily mounted onto a printed circuit board. The particular socket in question is 8058-39G4, which is a type of \'BGA\' (ball grid array). In this BGA socket the contacts are arranged in a very compact pattern, connected to the PCB using solder pads. In terms of performance the 8058-39G4 is ideal for high-frequency applications with its low contact resistance.

Application Field

The 8058-39G4 BGA socket is ideally suited to a variety of different applications, ranging from telecommunications and medical devices to security systems and automotive electronics. The low contact resistance of the 8058-39G4 allows it to offer a reliable connection even in high-frequency, high-speed applications, which makes it a popular choice for many industries.

Working Principle

The 8058-39G4 is made up of a series of pins arranged in a regular pattern that form the electrical connections between the IC or transistor and the printed circuit board. The pins are encased within a housing that can be mounted onto the circuit board, and can be soldered in place, or affixed with a mounting screw. To make the connection, the IC or transistor is inserted into the socket, and the metal contacts of the socket engage the metal leads of the device. This ensures a reliable electrical connection between the IC or transistor and the printed circuit board.

Advantages

Sockets are designed primarily to make the insertion and removal of integrated circuits and transistors easy and convenient. Additionally, the 8058-39G4 socket offers a number of distinct advantages over standard wire-bonding techniques. The low contact resistance of the socket ensures that there is a minimum of signal noise and attenuation, which is critical for higher-frequency applications. The compact design also increases the circuit board density, allowing for a greater number of components to be packed onto the board. Finally, the wide range of applications in which it is suitable make it a versatile choice for many different projects.
