Aries Electronics, Inc. IC & Component Sockets 06-3518-01

The 06-3518-01 is an open frame socket designed for integrated circuits and transistors, featuring collet contacts and surface mount pins. Its open frame design allows for efficient board space utilization and improved cooling. The socket is compatible with automatic insertion equipment and supports side-to-side and end-to-end stacking. Constructed from black UL 94V-0 glass-filled nylon, the socket's pin body is made of brass with a 93/7 Sn/Pb or pure Sn plating option. The collet contact is made from beryllium copper, with a gold plating over nickel for enhanced conductivity. It has a contact current rating of 3 amps and operates within a temperature range of -67¬8F to 221¬8F (-55¬8C to 105¬8C). The socket accepts leads with diameters ranging from 0.015 to 0.025 inches and lengths of 0.100 to 0.125 inches. For mounting, a suggested PCB hole size of 0.045 ¬±0.002 inches is recommended. This socket is suitable for applications requiring reliable connections in compact spaces.
