IC and Component Sockets

These permanent IC connectors link integrated circuits (ICs) to printed circuit boards (PCBs). IC and component sockets allow the rapid exchange of parts in a PCB without the need to desolder components. Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) sockets are often used for IC programming and testing applications. CPU sockets for PGAs (pin grid arrays) are commonly used in motherboards and permit processor upgrades. Our detailed product pages provide all the necessary specifications and options, helping you choose the right IC component sockets and connectors to match your technical requirements and hardware configurations.
