for otherwise exposed pin contacts. D-subs connect the
electronics' inside equipment to the "outside world" either
Some applications require that integrated circuits (IC's) and IC chips be placed on a PC board in such a manner that they can be easily plugged in or removed. To accomplish this, IC sockets and chip carriers are used. SIP and DIP sockets, Pin Grid
Arrays (PGA's) and Plastic Leaded Chip Carriers (PLCC's) are
Terminal blocks consist of one or more electrical terminals
mounted on a solid insulation material. Each is used to
Terminations involve either connecting power wires to a
system or connecting signal or sensor wires to a computer,
telephone system, or control system. The barrier blocks are
