Aries Electronics, Inc. Sockets for ICs, Transistors 32-6575-18

The 32-6575-18 is a Zero-Insertion-Force DIP test socket designed for quick-release and ease of use. It accommodates devices with pin centers ranging from 0.300 to 0.600 inches and supports various pin counts. The socket features a handle that swings down to open contacts for device insertion, automatically returning to close onto the device leads. It can be soldered into PCBs or plugged into any compatible socket. Constructed from black UL 94V-0 glass-filled polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) for standard applications, it is also available in high-temperature polyetheretherketone (PEEK). The handle is made of stainless steel, and the contact materials include beryllium copper with various plating options, ensuring durability and reliability. The socket has a contact current rating of 1 amp, insulation resistance of 1000 MΩ minimum, and a dielectric withstand voltage of 1000 VAC. It is rated for a life cycle of 25,000 to 50,000 cycles and operates within a temperature range of -85°F to 221°F for standard plating, with higher limits for other plating options. The retention force is 55g per pin, and it accepts leads with specific dimensions, making it suitable for a range of applications in electronic testing and prototyping.
