Andon Electronics makes precision sockets used in the placement of
image sensors,
optoelectronic and
gas sensors, power converters, batteries, crystal oscillators, fuses, relays, and other
electronic devices onto PC boards.
Leading makers
of lasers, high-speed/high resolution cameras, and other electronic products
solder Andon sockets – not the devices – onto the PCB, to avoid:
- Device damage from exposure to high temp solder, ESD, and cleaning solutions
- Solder joint cracking and associated intermittency
- The labor and PC board damage associated with de-soldering a faulty device
- Holding up PCB assembly until the devices arrive
- Device performance degradation due to excessive heat and noise
John O. Tate, Andon President, pioneered many of the innovative,
high-reliability interconnects for military, aerospace and commercial
applications that have become industry standards. In 1965, he developed the
stamped and formed multi-finger precision socket contact, which remains the
preferred method throughout the world for connecting today’s critical
components.
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 heat
dissipation and noise reduction with the traditional benefits of using a socket.
