100 A socket system accommodates broad range of PCB thicknesses
13 March 2002
Interconnection
Vicor Corporation has introduced a series of through-hole sockets for use with pin-compatible Vicor 2nd Generation DC-DC converter and accessory modules. The sockets are rated at 100 A and can be soldered into the board using standard wave or hand solder processes. They can accommodate a broad range of standard board thicknesses - boards as thin as 1,4 mm or as thick as 3,5 mm - to cover most through-hole requirements.
The InMate system consists of the sockets mounted on a moulded plastic carrier that acts as a soldering fixture and ensures accurate positioning of the sockets in the board. The InMate socketing system is the newest member of the growing family of ModuMate interconnect products for Vicor's full, half and quarter-brick modules.
Sockets offer many advantages over other mounting techniques. Manufacturing and maintenance drawbacks resulting from soldering the converter directly to the PCB, for example, are eliminated. Boards may be fully populated and the modules added as a final assembly step.
