What are IC Sockets?
IC (Integrated circuit) Sockets
IC Sockets connector is designed to provide a compressive interconnect between component leads and a printed circuit board (PCB). This connector is designed to provide a compressive interconnect between component leads and a printed circuit board (PCB). It simplifies the board design, enables simple reprogramming and expansion and easy repair and replacement, and offers a cost-effective solution without the risk of direct soldering. With a wide range of solutions for land grid array (LGA) and pin grid array (PGA) sockets, this connector features contact tip geometry optimized to reduce risk of contact damage during handling and package installation.
PGA – Pin Grid Array Sockets. Complex printed circuits are too valuable to risk direct soldering to expensive integrated circuits (ICs). Using a socket is the answer. The use of sockets offers advantages that prove cost effective and simplify board design.
SIMM – Single In-line Memory Module. These have a single row of pins which connect memory modules to circuit boards. They are space saving and can be installed at predetermined angles with positive polarisation to prevent memory modules from being inserted incorrectly. They are used mainly in older computers dating from the 1980s to late 1990s. Available in various sizes and number of pins.
In notebook and desktop computers, LGA sockets feature a robust bolster plate for reliable connection to the microprocessor package while limiting PCB bowing during compression.
In servers, our mPGA and PGA sockets -- with custom arrays available in more than 1,000 positions --offer zero insertion force (ZIF) interface to the microprocessor PGA package and attach to the PCB with surface-mount technology (SMT) soldering. Antenk's IC sockets are designed for higher performance CPU processors.

Seize the favorable opportunity for Taiwan's industrial transfer, give full play to the geographical and humanistic advantages of our province's neighboring Taiwan, and take practical and effective measures to create a favorable environment and atmosphere conducive to cross-strait communication, exchanges and cooperation. The government set up the platform, the industry association or the industry alliance as the medium, and the enterprise as the main body, actively contact and communicate, and the “6?;18†project outcome trade fair, “9?;8†CIFIT and other exhibitions as the platform, through the office Academic seminars, fairs, trade fairs, trade fairs, visits and inspections, etc., to enhance understanding, strengthen the links between the two sides of the industry, and create conditions for technical cooperation, results trading, trade and investment. Various preferential policies have been adopted to attract leading enterprises in LED and photovoltaic industries in Taiwan to invest and set up factories, realize technology and industrial transfer, improve the technical level of LED and photovoltaic industry in our province, and expand the scale of the industry. Give full play to the role of communication and communication between professional organizations of the two sides of the strait, and promote cross-strait specific industry docking and project cooperation. Strengthen cooperation with Taiwan's LED industry, and jointly check with international authorities to improve the LED detection level in our province.
(8) Establishing Fujian Photonics Industry Association
The Fujian Photonics Industry Association shall be a non-profit social organization with legal personality of social organizations. It shall be composed of enterprises, institutions and natural persons engaged in optoelectronics (covering LED and photovoltaic industry) in Fujian Province. Its main function is to organize academic activities, information exchange and consulting services in the field of optoelectronics; entrusted by government departments, organize industry experts to formulate industry development plans, provide industrial analysis reports and development proposals for relevant government departments; carry out international and cross-strait technology Cooperation and exchange, organize and hold academic exchanges and exhibitions at home and abroad, cooperate with relevant departments to carry out investment and intelligence activities in the optoelectronic industry; coordinate internal and external relations of optoelectronic enterprises, standardize industry competition order and self-discipline, and create a good environment for enterprise development.
(9) Strengthening the construction of the talent team
Increase talent training and intelligence. Support higher education institutions in the province to open courses in optoelectronics and professional skills, improve school conditions, strengthen the construction of teaching staff, courses and teaching materials, and train optoelectronic professionals and senior technicians in our province. Grasping the introduction of intelligence, the focus is on LED and photovoltaic professional technology leaders and senior management talents, and vigorously attract overseas outstanding returnees and foreign experts to work or hire as technical consultants, introducing internationally advanced LED and At the same time as the PV industry project, it is encouraged to bring technology and talents to the project. Re-education and technical training for in-service personnel, relying on universities, research institutes and enterprises in the province, and attracting famous universities and research institutions at home and abroad to build post-doctoral mobile stations, joint masters of engineering, and senior college students. The social practice base of graduate students will train a large number of urgently needed talents and stabilize the talent team. Actively select professional and technical personnel to go abroad (industry) training to improve their professional skills and post skills; foreign affairs and other relevant departments should simplify the examination and approval procedures for those who go abroad and leave the country, and facilitate high- and medium-level technical management personnel to participate in international exchanges. We will make full use of their enthusiasm and creativity in the remuneration and reward policies for those who have completed their work on technical achievements and who have made outstanding contributions to the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. 
Most of our everyday electrical devices contain integrated circuits (ICs) or chips which are installed on the printed circuit board (PCB). Most chips are soldered directly onto the board but sometimes they need to be interchangeable, or removed, and this is when an IC socket is used.
The IC socket fits onto the board and holds the chip, protecting it from heat damage which could be caused by soldering. Programmable chips are a great example where IC sockets are used, allowing removal for testing, programming or replacement due to failure.
Antenk offer a comprehensive range of DIP, SIP and PGA sockets to suit most multiple electrical applications.
Types of IC Sockets
DIL /DIP– Dual in-line. These have two parallel rows of pins, available in various numbers to match the relevant IC and are normally very cost effective. A larger socket can be created by placing two smaller ones together, end-to-end, e.g. two 8-pins become 16-pin.
SIL/SIP – Single in-line. This socket has a single line of pins and are frequently used in smaller applications like resistor arrays or boards with short lead pins, such as a desktop computer. There are many different sizes and attributes available.
DIMM – Dual In-line Memory Module. Random Access Memory (RAM) can be easily installed in computers or laptops using DIMM sockets. These are important components that help to ensure reliable connectivity. They have two separate rows of electrical contacts or pins on either side. It`s a general rule that the more pins the higher the RAM it supports. There are various pin sizes available.
