Aries Electronics, Inc. Sockets for ICs, Transistors 144-PRS13095-12

The 144-PRS13095-12 is a PGA ZIF test and burn-in socket designed to accommodate various footprints on standard grids ranging from 8x8 to 21x21. It features a strong metal cam that activates normally-closed contacts, ensuring reliable contact force independent of plastic components. The socket body is constructed from black UL 94V-0 polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), while the contacts are made of BeCu 174, available in half-hard or spinodal options. Contact plating options include a minimum of 30Oº gold on the contact area and 200Oº matte tin on the solder tail, both over a nickel layer, providing durability and conductivity. The socket can handle lead diameters from 0.014 to 0.026 inches and is rated for a contact current of 1 amp. It operates effectively within a temperature range of -85¬8F to 257¬8F (-65¬8C to 125¬8C) with gold plating. This socket is suitable for applications requiring flexibility in pin configurations and reliable performance in testing and burn-in processes. Customization options are available for specific requirements, making it a versatile choice for engineers.
