PLCC84 IC socket

The PLCC84 IC socket is designed to accommodate 84-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) integrated circuits. This type of socket provides a secure and convenient method to mount and replace PLCC84 ICs onto a printed circuit board (PCB), without the need for soldering directly to the IC pins.

Key Features:

• Compatibility: Supports 84-pin PLCC ICs
• Insertion and Removal: Allows for easy insertion and removal of ICs using a PLCC extraction tool
• Socket Type: Typically features a press-fit or soldered connection to the PCB
• Contact Material: Often utilizes gold-plated or tin-plated contacts for reliable electrical connections and corrosion resistance
• Housing Material: Constructed from durable plastic that can withstand soldering processes
• Mounting: Can be mounted onto the PCB using through-hole or surface-mount techniques
• Durability: Designed to withstand multiple insertions and removals of ICs without compromising the socket’s integrity

Technical Specifications:

• Pin Count: 84
• Pin Pitch: Standard 1.27 mm (0.05 inches) pitch
• Socket Type: Typically a press-fit or soldered socket onto the PCB
• Contact Material: Gold-plated or tin-plated contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Housing Material: High-temperature resistant plastic to endure soldering processes
• Dimensions: Specific to the 84-pin PLCC form factor, adhering to industry standards

Applications:

• Prototyping and Testing: Ideal for development boards and prototypes where ICs need to be frequently replaced or tested.
• Repair and Maintenance: Facilitates the replacement of ICs in existing electronic equipment without soldering.
• Production: Suitable for low-volume production runs where ICs might need to be swapped out during assembly.
• Educational: Commonly used in educational kits and projects to demonstrate IC handling and replacement techniques.
