Harwin offers extensive range of IC sockets
IC sockets from Harwin provide design flexibility and protect sensitive ICs during assembly. The sockets, which are suitable for use with industry-standard IC packages, enable ICs to be replaced easily if necessary; moreover they protect sensitive chips from high soldering temperatures by allowing the device to be placed after soldering. Devices feature polarisation marking to simplify package assembly.
A range of sizes and styles is available. DIP sockets (dual row) are available in four row pitches – 7.62, 10.16, 15.24 and 22.86mm (0.3, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.9in). Single-row socket strips are also available in 20 or 32 contact options for added flexibility; these can also be cropped to the number of contacts required. Both dual- and single-row styles utilise a four-finger beryllium copper contact clip for reliability, and are end- and side-stackable. Surface-mount and through-hole PLCC sockets are also offered.
All products are available in a RoHS-compliant and high-temperature format, and non-RoHS-compliant versions are also available.
