About Socket Accessories

Socket accessories like covers and retainers are vital for protecting ICs during PCB assembly and handling. They prevent bent pins, contamination, and ESD damage during manufacturing, shipping, and storage. Proper accessory selection directly impacts production yield rates and component lifespan.

For PQFP packages specifically, precision-engineered covers ensure zero-contact protection during reflow soldering while maintaining thermal stability. These accessories enable safe handling of high-pin-count devices where manual protection is impractical, reducing costly rework in automated production lines.

Packaging Options

Available in Bulk Packaging for production-line efficiency. Contact PCX for custom reel options or quantity breaks.
