LCC Socket	DIP Socket

Andon Electronics makes precision sockets used in the placement of image sensors, optoelectronic and gas sensors, power converters, batteries, crystal oscillators, fuses, relays, and otherelectronic devices onto PC boards.

Leading makers of cameras, lasers, gas sensing equipment, and other electronic products use Andon sockets to:

• Avoid the device damage and solder joint cracking associated with soldering the device directly to the PC board
• Perform PC board assembly before the devices arrive
• Enable easy replacement of damaged or obsolete devices, without desoldering
• Enable surface mounting of thru-hole devices, to eliminate a second soldering step when all the other devices on the PC board are surface mounted
• Avoid heat and noise-related device performance degradation without using a separate heat sink or thermoelectric cooler

John O. Tate, Andon President, pioneered many of the innovative,high-reliability interconnects for military, aerospace and commercialapplications that have become industry standards. In 1965, he developed thestamped and formed multi-finger precision socket contact, which remains thepreferred method throughout the world for connecting today’s criticalcomponents.

Standard and custom sockets are available for a variety of package outlines including PGAs, BGAs, LCCs,PLCCs,TOs,DIPs,SIPs,LEDs, and more.

NEW: Andon's patented Heat Sink Sockets™combine heatdissipation and noise reduction with the traditional benefits of using a socket.Contact us for cross-references to numerous sensor brands
