and headers. The trace widths and density of parts required a 6-layer
board.
Through hole and surface mounting of components are used. IC sockets
use gold plated screw machine pins. High insertion and removal forces are
required, which assists in the retention of components. If the application
requires unusually high reliability or is in an environment subject to high
vibration, the user may solder the corner pins of each socketed IC into the
socket, using a grounded soldering iron.
The IP Module connectors are keyed and shrouded with Gold plated pins on
both plugs and receptacles. They are rated at 1 Amps per pin, 200
insertion cycles minimum. These connectors make consistent, correct
insertion easy and reliable.
The IP Module can be secured against the carrier with the connectors. If
more security against vibration is required then IP mounting kit can be used
to attach the IP to the carrier.
