822115-4 Connectors, Interconnects

Sockets for ICs, Transistors - Accessories

822115-4 is a socket for 3-pin transistor (3 amplifier) and integrated circuit (IC) packages. It is a type of electrical contact designed to physically and electrically connect an IC or transistor to a circuit board, allowing it to be easily replaced without having to solder anything to the board. This socket is also widely used for the testing of ICs and transistors before they are soldered to the PCB. It provides a means for testing devices before installation or repair and can also be used to quickly swap out defective components.

Application Field

The 822115-4 socket is used in a variety of electronics, ranging from portable devices, such as mobile phones and MP3 players, to household appliances, computers and other equipment. It has a variety of applications, including prototype boards, amplifiers, communications devices, computers and consumer electronics.

This socket is also useful in testing the performance of a device on the fly. It is often used to test memory, resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors and integrated circuits. It allows for the testing of components prior to their soldering and is also useful for troubleshooting existing boards. It can save time and money by eliminating the need to solder on the components.

Working Principle

The 822115-4 socket consists of a body made up of three separate pieces: the base plate, the seal and the connection pins. The base plate is connected to the circuit board and provides a platform for the socket to be securely mounted to the board. The seal provides an insulation barrier ensure that no current flows between the connection pins.

The connection pins are placed into holes in the seal and fit into the drilled hole on the board. The holes have an internal thread lined with contacts, which provide electrical connection between the pins and the board. When the socket is placed onto the board, the pins press down on the contacts, creating an electrical connection. The socket is then held in place by solder, usually in the form of a dabber, which creates a permanent connection between the socket and the board.

Conclusion

The 822115-4 socket is a versatile device that can be used for a variety of applications, ranging from prototyping to testing and troubleshooting. It is easy to install and provides a reliable and secure connection between an IC or transistor and a circuit board. By using 822115-4 the customer can reduce costs by eliminating the need to solder components directly to the board.
