Aries Electronics, Inc. Sockets for ICs, Transistors 26-8500-310C

The 26-8500-310C 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 height range of 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, depending on the specific requirements. The collet contacts are made from beryllium copper and are plated with gold over nickel for enhanced conductivity and durability. This socket has 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 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 suitable for various applications where reliable connections are essential. The suggested PCB hole size for mounting is 0.035 inches (0.89 mm) in diameter.
