18372 Through-Hole Socket-Mount System
Maxi, Mini, Micro Family DC-DC Converters and Configurable Power Supplies
InMates are an innovative solution for through-hole socket requirements.
Consisting of individual plastic carriers for the input and the output, each
contains an array of sockets for either a full-, half- or quarter-brick sized
module. The sockets are factory loaded into the carrier, which holds them
rigidly in place throughout the assembly and soldering process. The carriers
are later removed, leaving the sockets accurately positioned.
Designed for use with pin-compatible Maxi, Mini and Micro Family converters,
InMates are available for a wide range of PCB sizes and mounting styles. PCB
thicknesses can range from 0.055in [1,39mm] to 0.1375in [3,49mm].
Sockets also allow for mounting modules either inboard, with a cutout in the
PCB for the module, to minimize the height above the board or onboard. InMates
are compatible with the ModuMate or RoHS pin style.
InMates are available in standard recyclable JEDEC style trays for use with
automated pick-and-place equipment and are compatible with most standard wave
or hand solder operations. The sockets are soldered into the board as part of
the PCB assembly process. The module can then be plugged into place at
anytime later.
NOTE: Please refer to Section 13 of the design guide for the InMate
soldering procedure.

-
Select Board Thickness:
Nominal 0.062in [1,5mm], 0.093in [2,4mm] or 0.125in [3,1mm]. -
Select Mounting Style:
Inboard requires a PCB cutout for the “belly” of the module.
See dotted lines in PCB drawing links on Page 80 for cut-out area. -
Identify Module Type:
Full brick (Maxi), half brick (Mini) or quarter brick (Micro). -
Select the Ordering Part Number:
Order packages of five input / output sets or in higher quantities order input and output InMates separately. For individual input or output InMates, minimum orders of 35 for Maxi or Mini and 40 for Micro apply. -
Verify Correct Pin Style for the Module:
For predefined parts, “S” or “F”= short ModuMate and “N” or “G” = long ModuMate
See Table 16.4 for standoff recommendations.

Environmental
Shock and Vibration| InMate products are tested in random vibration
environments to best simulate the broad spectrum of frequencies and amplitudes
that may be encountered in typical applications. Actual system resonant
frequencies will depend on PCB construction and mounting details. For critical
or unusual shock and vibration environments, the performance of the system
should be independently verified.
