The closed bottom design eliminates flux and solder contamination. The exclusive 1oz. socket contact design reduces damage to both the device and the substrate. For High-Rel, high shock and high vibration applications, Andon offers PLCCs with edge wipe contacts made of flat heavy gauge copper alloy. For low cost computer applications, Utilizing face wipe contacts made of rolled-leaf copper alloy. All sockets use UL94V-O insulators.
Individual receptacles remain properly aligned during insertion and soldering.
After soldering, the rigid pin carrier is removed and can be recycled. Molded standoffs hold the barrel of the terminal clear of the mounting holes to assure proper solder flow. Made of high temperature PPS insulator material, SOJ sockets can withstand convection and IR soldering processes. SOJ sockets can be supplied in tubes, trays or tape and reel. But fuse replacement can involve risk of damage to the PCB loaded with expensive components, especially while being soldered or desoldered.
