16. Through-hole Socket Mount System (InMate) Design Guide & Applications Manual For Maxi, Mini, Micro Family DC-DC Converters and Configurable Power Supplies InMates are an innovative solution for through-hole socket Sockets also allow for mounting modules either inboard, requirements. Consisting of individual plastic carriers for with a cutout in the PCB for the module, to minimize the the input and the output, each contains an array of sockets height above the board, or onboard. InMates are compati- for either a full, half or quarter-brick sized module. The ble with the ModuMate or RoHS pin style. sockets are factory loaded into the carrier, which holds InMates are available in standard recyclable JEDEC style them rigidly in place throughout the assembly and soldering trays for use with automated pick-and-place equipment process. The carriers are later removed, leaving the sockets and are compatible with most standard wave or hand accurately positioned. solder operations. The sockets are soldered into the board Designed for use with pin-compatible Maxi, Mini, and as part of the PCB assembly process. The module can then Micro Family converters, InMates are available for a wide be plugged into place at anytime later. range of PCB sizes and mounting styles.
