• Device damage from exposure to high temp solder, ESD, and cleaning solutions
• The labor and PC board damage associated with desoldering a faulty device

Holding up PCB assembly until the devices arrive

John O. Tate, Andon President, pioneered many of the innovative, high-reliability interconnects for military, aerospace and commercial applications that have become industry standards. In 1965, he developed the stamped and formed multi-finger precision socket contact, which remains the preferred method throughout the world for connecting today's critical components. Standard and custom sockets are available for a variety of package outlines including PGAs , BGAs ,CLCCs , PLCCs , TOs , DIPs , SIPs , LEDs , and more. NEW: Andon's patented Heat Sink Sockets™ combine heat dissipation and noise reduction with the traditional benefits of using a socket. * Contact us for cross-references to numerous sensor brands
