Aries Electronics, Inc. Sockets for ICs, Transistors 16-8625-310C

The 16-8625-310C is a 16-position IC 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 360 brass and is available with various plating options, including gold and tin/lead, to suit different application requirements. This socket utilizes a 4-finger collet contact made from beryllium copper, providing reliable electrical connections with a contact current rating of 3 amps. 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. The socket accepts lead diameters between 0.015 and 0.025 inches (0.38 to 0.64 mm) and is designed for mounting in PCB holes of approximately 0.035 inches (0.89 mm) in diameter. Engineers considering this product should note its customizable options for different sizes and configurations, making it adaptable for various applications.
