LGA 4189 Socket Carrier – What It Is
2-2330552-1 is a socket carrier accessory from TE Connectivity, designed specifically for LGA 4189 sockets. It is not a header or a socket itself — it is the thermoplastic frame that holds the socket during board assembly and protects the delicate contacts until the heatsink load plate is installed.
Obsolete – Sourcing Reality
2-2330552-1 is listed as Obsolete by the manufacturer, meaning TE Connectivity no longer produces it. Available through independent distribution channels. No stock-holding claim — sourced per request against the BOM quantity.
