Aries Electronics, Inc. Sockets for ICs, Transistors 64-9518-11

The 64-9518-11 is part of the Series 518 Open Frame Socket from Lingto Electronic Limited, designed for integrated circuits and transistors. This socket features collet contacts and solder pin tails, allowing for efficient board space utilization and optimized cooling. It is compatible with automatic insertion equipment and supports both side-to-side and end-to-end stacking. The socket is constructed from black UL 94V-0 glass-filled nylon, with brass pin bodies that are available in various plating options, including gold, tin, and tin/lead. The contact current rating is 3 amps, and it operates effectively at temperatures up to 221¬8F (105¬8C) for tin and tin/lead plating, and 257¬8F (125¬8C) for gold plating. The insertion force is rated at 180g per pin, with a withdrawal force of 90g per pin. This socket accepts lead lengths from 0.100 inches (2.54 mm) minimum and accommodates pin diameters ranging from 0.015 to 0.025 inches (0.38 to 0.64 mm). For midget pins, it accepts lead lengths from 0.080 inches (2.03 mm) and up to 0.022 inches (0.56 mm) in diameter. Suggested PCB hole sizes for solder pin tails are 0.030 inches (0.76 mm) in diameter, while midget pins require a hole size of 0.040 inches (1.02 mm). Engineers considering this product should evaluate its compatibility with their specific application requirements, including pin style, plating options, and thermal performance.
