PLCC28 IC socket

The PLCC28 IC socket is designed to house 28-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) integrated circuits. It allows easy installation and removal of PLCC ICs without the need for soldering, providing flexibility and ease of maintenance for electronic circuits and prototypes.

Key Features:

• Compatibility: Accommodates 28-pin PLCC ICs
• Material: Typically made from high-quality, durable plastics and metals to ensure reliable connections
• Pin Configuration: 28 pins arranged to match the PLCC package layout
• Insertion and Removal: Facilitates easy insertion and removal of ICs, often using a PLCC extraction tool
• Mounting: Can be soldered onto PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) using through-hole or surface-mount techniques

Technical Specifications:

• Pin Count: 28
• Pin Pitch: Standard 1.27 mm (0.050 inches) pitch
• Socket Type: Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) or low insertion force, depending on the design
• Contact Material: Gold-plated or tin-plated contacts for corrosion resistance and reliable electrical connections
• Housing Material: High-temperature resistant plastic to withstand soldering processes
• Dimensions: Specific to the PLCC28 form factor, typically adhering to industry standards

Applications:

• Prototyping: Used in development boards and prototypes to allow easy swapping of ICs during design and testing
• Repair and Maintenance: Facilitates the replacement of PLCC ICs in existing electronic equipment without soldering
• Production: Can be used in low-volume production runs where ICs might need to be frequently changed or upgraded
• Educational: Commonly used in educational kits and projects to demonstrate the use of PLCC ICs
