Aries Electronics, Inc. Sockets for ICs, Transistors 24-8900-310C

The 24-8900-310C 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. The pin body can be plated with gold, tin-lead, or tin over nickel, depending on the specific requirements. The collet contacts are made from beryllium copper and are plated with gold over nickel, ensuring reliable electrical connections. With a contact current rating of 3 amps and an operating temperature range of -67¬8F to 221¬8F (-55¬8C to 105¬8C), this socket is designed for robust performance in various environments. It accepts lead diameters from 0.015 to 0.025 inches (0.38 to 0.64 mm) and has specified insertion and withdrawal forces, making it user-friendly for assembly and disassembly. The suggested PCB hole size for mounting is 0.035 inches (0.89 mm) in diameter. This product is suitable for applications requiring reliable connections in a compact form factor, making it a viable option for engineers considering socket solutions for their projects.
