Aries Electronics, Inc. Sockets for ICs, Transistors 24-3570-11

The 24-3570-11 is a Zero-Insertion-Force DIP test socket designed for quick-release functionality, accommodating devices with pin centers ranging from 0.300 to 0.600 inches. It features a handle that swings down to open contacts for easy device insertion and automatically returns to close onto the device leads. The socket can be soldered into PCBs or plugged into any compatible socket. Constructed from black UL 94V-0 glass-filled polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) for standard applications, it also offers a high-temperature variant made from natural color polyetheretherketone (PEEK). The handle is made of stainless steel, while the contact materials include beryllium copper (BeCu) with various plating options, ensuring durability and reliability. The socket supports a contact current rating of 1 amp, with an insulation resistance of at least 1000 MΩ and a dielectric withstand voltage of 1000 VAC. The operating temperature range is extensive, from -85°F to 221°F for standard plating, and up to 482°F for high-temperature applications. With a life cycle of 25,000 to 50,000 cycles and a retention force of 55g per pin, this socket is suitable for various testing and prototyping needs. It accepts leads measuring 0.015 to 0.035 inches wide and 0.110 to 0.280 inches long, making it versatile for different devices.
