Andon Electronics Corporation

Andon Electronics is a pioneer in the design and manufacture of precision sockets used in the placement of image sensors, optoelectronic and gas sensors, power converters, batteries, crystal oscillators, fuses, relays, and other electronic devices onto PC boards. Leading makers of lasers, high-speed/high resolution cameras, and other electronic products solder Andon sockets not the devices onto the PCB, to avoid: * Device damage from exposure to high temp solder, ESD, and cleaning solutions * Solder joint cracking and associated intermittency * The labor and PC board damage associated with de-soldering a faulty device * Holding up PCB assembly until the devices arrive * Excessive heat and noise John O. Tate, Andon President, pioneered many of the innovative, high-reliability interconnects for military, aerospace and commercial applications that have become industry standards. In 1965, he developed the stamped and formed multi-finger precision socket contact, which remain...
