Aries Electronics, Inc. Sockets for ICs, Transistors 24-8600-610C

The 24-8600-610C is a socket designed for integrated circuits and transistors, specifically part of the Series 8 Elevator Socket line. It features collet contacts and solder pin tails, making it suitable for elevating devices such as displays and switches to a height range of 0.240 to 1.250 inches (6.10 to 31.75 mm). The socket body is constructed from black UL 94V-0 glass-filled nylon, while the pin body is made of brass with various plating options available, including gold and tin/lead. This socket supports a contact current rating of 3 amps and operates effectively within a temperature range of -67¬8F to 221¬8F (-55¬8C to 105¬8C). It has specific insertion and withdrawal forces of 180g and 90g per pin, respectively, based on a 0.018-inch diameter test lead. The socket accepts lead diameters from 0.015 to 0.025 inches (0.38 to 0.64 mm) and suggests a PCB hole size of 0.035 inches (0.89 mm) for mounting. Customization options are available for different sizes and configurations, depending on quantity.
