LCC Sockets

These sockets are only available from Andon Electronic Corp. (US-Patent #5,588,847). A unique design avoids cracking of solder joints and ceramic substrate of sensitive components.

Modern LCC image sensors are e.g. packaged with up to 100 castellations (contacts). The ceramic substrate packaging presents new challenges for RoHS high temperature soldering. Historically, image sensors are soldered directly on the printed circuit board (PCB). LCC image sensors require longer soldering times for RoHS high temperature solders. Here the ceramic substrate expands while the solder joint is fixed which can lead to cracks.

Andon's LCC sockets offer you even more benefits:

• Avoid color array high temperature soldering damage
• Avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) production line problems
• Avoid contamination of glass cover by cleaning agents
