FEATURES:
The PKC Series of Pin Grid Array Sockets is a method of carrying printed
circuit pins on a removable carrier in a pin grid array format. This unique
concept keeps the P.C. pins in alignment while they are being soldered to
the circuit board, but allows the pin carrier to be removed after the circuit
board is cleaned. This concept allows the circuit board to be easily
inspected and allows individual pins to be replaced without having to
unsolder the entire socket.
• Low insertion and withdrawal force contacts
• Ultra low profile version only .040" (1,02) max. above P.C. board
• Socket will retain minimum component lead length
• With ultra-low sockets installed, circuit boards can be mounted on
.400" (10,16) centerline spacing
• Maximizes air flow across pin grid device
• Carrier will withstand up to 400°C for application of vapor phase or
infrared soldering
• Removable carrier improves cleaning and inspection of solder joints
• Insulator: High Temperature DuPont Kapton
®
or equivalent
• PKC Carriers are always closed frame footprints.
