VICOR 21510 Through-Hole Socket-Mount System Instruction Manual
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.

Table 16.1 — Guide to InMate selection
- 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

| 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. | |
