Aries Electronics, Inc. Sockets for ICs, Transistors 18-7740-10

The 18-7740-10 is a socket designed for integrated circuits and transistors, featuring a series 700 Elevator Strip-Line,Ñ¢ configuration with bifurcated contacts and solder pin tails. It allows for elevated mounting of LCDs or other components with odd-center or high pin counts, accommodating heights from 0.360 to 2.000 inches (9.14 to 50.80 mm). The socket is constructed from black UL 94V-0 glass-filled nylon, with pins made of grade A phosphor bronze, and offers various plating options including gold, tin, and tin/lead. This socket supports a current rating of 1.5 amps and operates within a temperature range of -67¬8F to 221¬8F (-55¬8C to 105¬8C) for tin and tin/lead plating, and up to 257¬8F (-55¬8C to 125¬8C) for gold plating. It accepts flat leads up to 0.014 x 0.020 inches (0.36-0.51 mm) and round leads up to 0.020 inches (0.51 mm) in diameter. The average insertion force is 110g per pin, while the withdrawal force is 75g per pin. Suggested PCB hole size for mounting is 0.045 ¬±0.002 inches (1.14 ¬±0.05 mm) in diameter.
