Aries Electronics, Inc. Sockets for ICs, Transistors 20-8770-310C

The 20-8770-310C is a 20-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 brass with a half-hard finish, and it is available with various plating options including gold and tin/lead. This socket utilizes a 4-finger collet contact made from beryllium copper, providing reliable electrical connections with a contact current rating of 3 amps. The operating temperature range is from -67¬8F to 221¬8F (-55¬8C to 105¬8C), making it suitable for a variety of environments. The 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). Customization options are available for different sizes and configurations, allowing for flexibility in design.
