Design Guide & Applications Manual 16. Through-Hole Socket-Mount System (InMate) 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, with a requirements. Consisting of individual plastic carriers for the input cutout in the PCB for the module, to minimize the height above the and the output, each contains an array of sockets for either a full-, board or onboard. InMates are compatible with the ModuMate or half- or quarter-brick sized module. The sockets are factory loaded RoHS pin style. into the carrier, which holds them rigidly in place throughout the InMates are available in standard recyclable JEDEC style trays for assembly and soldering process. The carriers are later removed, use with automated pick-and-place equipment and are compatible leaving the sockets accurately positioned. with most standard wave or hand solder operations. The sockets Designed for use with pin-compatible Maxi, Mini and Micro Family are soldered into the board as part of the PCB assembly process. converters, InMates are available for a wide range of PCB sizes and The module can then be plugged into place at anytime later. mounting styles. PCB thicknesses can range from 0.055in 1,39mm NOTE: Please refer to Section 13 of the design guide for the InMate to 0.1375in 3,49mm . soldering procedure.
