Aries Electronics, Inc. Sockets for ICs, Transistors 48-3553-11

The 48-3553-11 is a Series 55 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 features a handle that maintains closed contacts in both up and down positions. The socket can be soldered into PCBs or plugged into any compatible socket or receptacle. Constructed from black UL 94V-0 glass-filled Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) for the body and stainless steel for the handle, it offers durability and reliability. The contacts are made from BeCu or Spinodal Alloy, with various plating options available, including nickel, tin, and gold. 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. The retention force is 55g per pin, suitable for leads measuring 0.015 to 0.045 inches wide and 0.110 to 0.280 inches long. Customization options are available for different sizes and configurations, making it a versatile choice for various engineering applications.
