Aries Electronics, Inc. Sockets for ICs, Transistors 42-6571-11

The 42-6571-11 is a Universal Zero-Insertion-Force DIP Test Socket designed for ICs and transistors. It accommodates devices with pin centers ranging from 0.300 to 0.600 inches and supports various pin counts. The socket features normally-closed contacts to ensure reliable contact integrity without relying on plastic components. It can be soldered directly onto PCBs or plugged into compatible sockets. Constructed from black UL 94V-0 glass-filled Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) for the body and stainless steel for the handle, the socket is built for durability. It utilizes BeCu or Spinodal Alloy for contacts, with multiple plating options available, including nickel, tin, and gold. The socket has a contact current rating of 1 amp and offers high insulation resistance of 1000 MOc minimum, along with a dielectric withstand voltage of 1000 VAC. The operating temperature range is from -85¬8F to 221¬8F, with specific limits for different plating types. The socket is rated for a life cycle of 25,000 to 50,000 cycles and provides a retention force of 55g per pin. It is suitable for a variety of applications where reliable and repeatable connections are essential.
