Aries Electronics, Inc. Sockets for ICs, Transistors 32-6572-10

The 32-6572-10 is a Zero-Insertion-Force DIP test socket designed for quick-release applications, accommodating devices with pin centers ranging from 0.300 to 0.600 inches. It features a handle that swings down to open contacts for easy device insertion, automatically returning to close onto the device leads. The socket can be soldered into PCBs or plugged into compatible sockets. Constructed from black UL 94V-0 glass-filled polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) for standard applications, it also offers a high-temperature variant made from natural color polyetheretherketone (PEEK). The handle is made of stainless steel, while the contact materials include beryllium copper (BeCu) with various plating options, ensuring durability and reliability. The socket supports a contact current rating of 1 amp and has an insulation resistance of 1000 MΩ minimum, with a dielectric withstand voltage of 1000 VAC. The operating temperature range is from -85°F to 221°F for standard plating, with higher limits for other plating options. The socket is rated for a life cycle of 25,000 to 50,000 cycles, making it suitable for repeated use in testing environments. It accepts leads with widths from 0.015 to 0.035 inches and lengths from 0.110 to 0.280 inches, providing versatility for various devices.
