Single In-Line sockets have embedded integrated circuits, also called packages. These packages include Memory Chips and resistors mounted on printed circuit boards. The socket is comprised of housing one line of connectors, commonly referred to as connecting pins, which are mounted on a printed circuit board via through-hole mounting.
What are the Types of SIL Sockets?
In the industry, several Single In-Line socket choices exist, having many more relative features. These sockets consist of two connection orientations, named horizontal and vertical. This is the place where sockets are mounted onto Printed Circuit Boards.
Single In-Line sockets are characterized by many dimensions, such as voltage, current transmission capabilities, and their mounting types.
What are Single In-Line Sockets Used for?
Single In-Line sockets are typically employed in printed circuit boards containing short lead pins, such as laptops, desk computers, and servers. These sockets are particularly useful in situations where an integrated circuit is not easily soldered onto a printed circuit board.
Multi-headed power packages, such as Audio Amplifiers or heat sinking tabs, are housed in Single In-Line sockets. They are utilized in smaller applications like resistor arrays and diodes and are generally found on PCBs with memory modules. The sockets can also be used in larger components like oscillators and timers.
