44‑Way Chip Carrier Socket
Stock Quantity: 0
The TCC44B, manufactured by TAICOM, is a 44-way socket designed to accommodate integrated circuits (ICs) in a chip carrier package. This socket provides a reliable electrical and mechanical interface for ICs, facilitating prototyping, testing, and device programming. The TCC44B features a robust construction, typically utilizing a high-temperature thermoplastic insulator material to withstand soldering processes and operating temperatures. Contacts are generally constructed from a beryllium copper alloy, plated with gold or tin to ensure low contact resistance and long-term reliability. The socket is designed for through-hole mounting on a printed circuit board (PCB), with pin spacing conforming to industry standards for 44-pin chip carrier packages. The TCC44B’s design allows for easy insertion and extraction of the IC, often incorporating a lever or latch mechanism to secure the device and ensure proper contact.
