This 18 pos turned pin IC socket provides a high-precision pluggable carrier for dual-row integrated circuits. Unlike low-cost stamped-pin alternatives, it utilizes screw-machined sleeves and four-finger Beryllium Copper clips to ensure a 360-degree gas-tight connection. This cylindrical construction provides exceptional mechanical stability and resists signal failure in high-vibration environments. The insulator is molded from high-temperature PPS thermoplastic to survive intense industrial wave soldering without warping. Technicians utilize this 3A-rated modular interface to plug in expensive chips easily while protecting them from direct soldering thermal stress. Engineering teams rely on this solution for medical and industrial hardware requiring maximum contact reliability.
Key Features
- Machined Round Pins: Provide 360-degree contact for maximum signal reliability.
- High-Temp PPS Housing: Withstands extreme soldering heat without physical deformation.
- 3A Current Capacity: Handles higher power loads than standard stamped versions.
- Standard DIP Spacing: Fits common 18 pin packages with .300″ row spacing.
