Aries Electronics, Inc. Sockets for ICs, Transistors 32-6518-112

The 32-6518-112 is an open frame capacitor socket designed for integrated circuits and transistors, featuring collet contacts and solder pin tails. It is specifically engineered to bypass unwanted electromagnetic noise and is available with capacitors rated at either 0.1¬µF or 0.33¬µF, both at 50V with a Z5U temperature coefficient. The open frame design enhances board space utilization and improves cooling efficiency. Constructed from blue UL 94V-0 glass-filled polyester thermoplastic, the socket includes brass pin bodies with various plating options, including gold and tin/lead. The contact current rating is 3 amps, and it operates effectively at temperatures up to 221¬8F (105¬8C) for tin plating and 257¬8F (125¬8C) for gold plating. The socket accommodates lead diameters ranging from 0.015 to 0.025 inches and is compatible with automatic insertion equipment. It also allows for side-to-side and end-to-end stacking, making it versatile for different configurations. Engineers should consider this product for applications requiring reliable performance in compact spaces, especially where electromagnetic interference is a concern.
