Aries Electronics, Inc. Sockets for ICs, Transistors 20-8325-310C

The 20-8325-310C is a socket designed for integrated circuits and transistors, specifically part of the Series 8 Elevator Socket line from Lingto Electronic Limited. This socket features collet contacts and solder pin tails, making it suitable 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). The socket body and spacer are constructed from black UL 94V-0 glass-filled nylon, while the pin body is made of brass with a 1/2-hard finish. It offers various plating options, including gold and tin/lead, ensuring compatibility with different applications. 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). Insertion and withdrawal forces are specified at 180g and 90g per pin, respectively, based on a test lead diameter of 0.018 inches (0.46 mm). The socket accepts lead diameters between 0.015 and 0.025 inches (0.38 to 0.64 mm) and is designed for a suggested PCB hole size of 0.035 inches (0.89 mm) in diameter. This product may be suitable for applications requiring reliable connections in varying environmental conditions.
