Textool™ series 2.54mm ZIP DIP sockets which incorporate a lever actuated zero insertion force mechanism to reduce damage to device leads. These Textool ZIP DIP sockets provide a test and burn-in interface for dual in-line packages with a 2.54mm pin spacing and are ideally suited for use in high volume hand testing applications. When used as a test socket at room temperature 24°C these Textool™ DIP sockets willl last for 20,000 actuations

Durability: 20000 actuations (at 24°C)
Temperature range -55 to +105°C

Use this 3M ZIP DIP socket to make quick and easy modifications to PCB components (printed circuit boards). The unit provides a reliable test and burn-in interface for dual in-line packages (DIP) with a 2.54mm pin spacing. It’s a vertically oriented device designed for through-hole mounting for mechanical strength. The lever-actuated zero-force mechanism allows easy insertion and withdrawal without cable damage. DIP sockets like this are ideally suited for use in high-volume hand-testing applications such as programming.

• Beryllium-copper contact material for high electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion and oxidisation• Able to interconnect with a variety of non-standard package formats• Lasts for 20,000 actuations at room temperature (+24°C)• Safe operation at a wide temperature range -55°C to +100°C for versatile use• Extra-wide contact zone lets you insert DIPs with broader spacings

• Factory automation • Electronics manufacture• Laboratory testing

An integrated circuit (IC) is soldered onto the printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB is the carrier of the IC. Simply put, an integrated circuit integrates a general-purpose circuit into a single chip.
