Aries Electronics, Inc. Sockets for ICs, Transistors 08-8500-310C

The 08-8500-310C is an 8-position elevator socket designed for elevating devices such as displays and switches to a desired height ranging from 0.240 to 1.250 inches (6.10 to 31.75 mm). It features a standard socket body and spacer made from black UL 94V-0 glass-filled nylon, ensuring durability and compliance with safety standards. The pin body is constructed from brass with various plating options available, including gold and tin/lead, providing flexibility for different applications. This socket utilizes 4-finger collet contacts made from beryllium copper, which are plated with a minimum of 30¬µ gold over nickel, ensuring reliable electrical connections. The contact current rating is 3 amps, and it operates effectively within a temperature range of -67¬8F to 221¬8F (-55¬8C to 105¬8C). The insertion and withdrawal forces are specified at 180g and 90g per pin, respectively, based on a 0.018-inch diameter test lead. For mounting, the suggested PCB hole size is 0.035 inches (¬±0.002). The socket accepts lead diameters from 0.015 to 0.025 inches (0.38 to 0.64 mm), making it versatile for various components. Customization options are available for different sizes and configurations, depending on quantity.
