<p>Discrete sockets are a type of <a href="/web/c/connectors/ic-sockets/" target="_self">IC (integrated circuit) socket </a>designed to allow IC devices to be mounted onto PCBs (printed circuit boards), giving virtually zero above-board profile. The socket is designed to press fit into a hole in your PCB and is therefore ideal for applications where space is limited. </p><p><h2>How do discrete sockets work?</h2></p><p>Discrete sockets are useful because you don't need <a href="/web/c/tools/soldering-desoldering-tools/solders/" target="_self">solder</a>to fit them. You simply insert them into the plated thru-holes on a PCB enabling the holes to become the component socket. The sockets are conical in shape and re-size the thru-hole on the board when pressed into place. </p><p>Options for the shell of the discrete socket included closed or open-ended, with or without a knurled section for added board retention. </p><p><h2>Features and benefit of discrete sockets</h2></p><p>Discrete sockets are designed to meet severe environmental conditions. They're beneficial because they:</p ><ul><li>are resistant to vibration and shock</li><li>have a wide operating temperature range</li><li>are durable and long lasting</li><li>are strong, commonly made from brass or copper</li ></ul>

Mount devices onto your PCB (printed circuit board) with discrete sockets. They're designed to fit into the holes on your PCB for no above-board profile.
