DIP Sockets & Adapters

Peel-A-Way® Removable Terminal Carriers

• Place socket on PC board.
• Send PC board and socket through soldering operation.
• Peel away polyimide film carrier for complete solder joint visibility or leave in place for added stability.

Solder Preform Terminals

Typical Applications: Intrusive reflow, eliminate need for wave soldering on mixed SMT/Through-hole boards

• Combines the labor of socket loading and solder application into one operation.
• Eliminates use of solder paste and the screening operation.
• Eliminates solder bridges and/or solder shorts due to excess solder.
• Ensures a reliable solder joint with controlled solder volume.
• Ideal for surface mount and mixed technology applications.
• For custom solder preform terminal applications consult factory.

Tape Seal

Typical Applications: Harsh environments, long term storage, applications that call for spray flux

• Removable tape seal protects plated contacts in harsh environments.
• Sealed socket will not allow contaminants to enter socket chamber and become entrapped behind contact fingers.
• Spray flux without contaminating contact area.
• Material: Silicone backed polyimide film, -74° C to 260° C (-100° F to 500° F), intermittent to 371° C (700° F).
