Aries Electronics, Inc. Sockets for ICs, Transistors 32-6518-102

The 32-6518-102 is an open frame capacitor socket designed for integrated circuits and transistors, featuring collet contacts and solder pin tails. It is available with either a 0.1¬µF or 0.33¬µF capacitor rated for 50V with a Z5U temperature coefficient. The open frame design enhances board space utilization and cooling efficiency, making it suitable for various applications. This socket is compatible with automatic insertion equipment and allows for side-to-side and end-to-end stacking. The body is made from blue UL 94V-0 glass-filled polyester thermoplastic, while the pin body is constructed from brass with various plating options, including gold and tin/lead. The contact current rating is 3 amps, and it operates at temperatures up to 221¬8F (105¬8C) for tin plating and 257¬8F (125¬8C) for gold plating. The socket accepts leads with diameters ranging from 0.015 to 0.025 inches and has specified insertion and withdrawal forces. Suggested PCB hole size is 0.030 inches in diameter. Customization options are available for specific requirements.
