New sockets for DC-DC converters reduce time to market

Andon Electronics provide a range of sockets to fit industry standard DC-DC converter footprints in half-brick, quarter-brick, eighth-brick and sixteenth brick formats, all available now from Luso Electronics.

These high-reliability sockets, utilising the company’s proprietary contacts are offered on short lead-times which allow a decrease in time to market as PCBs can be created quickly with the components added after as needed or as they become available.

The sockets are offered in thru-hole, surface mount and low-profile versions. Using these sockets also provides many other positive benefits, including a reduction in device damage from exposure to high temp solder, ESD, and cleaning solutions; reduction in solder joint cracking and associated intermittency. It also removes the labour costs and PC board damage associated with de-soldering a faulty device and reduces damage caused by excessive heat and noise.
