16. Through-hole Socket Mount System (InMate)
Design Guide & Applications Manual
For 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 0.055"(1,39 mm) to 0.1375"(3,49 mm).
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.

1. Select Board Thickness.
Nominal 0.062"(1,5 mm), 0.093"(2,4 mm) or
0.125"(3,1 mm).
2. 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.
3. Identify Module Type.
Full brick (Maxi), half brick (Mini) or
quarter brick (Micro).
Maxi, Mini, Micro Design Guide
Page 77 of 88
4. 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.
5. 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.
