Textool™ series 2.54mm universal ZIF DIP sockets which incorporate a lever actuated zero insertion force mechanism to reduce damage to device leads. These Textool universal DIP sockets provide a test and burn-in interface for dual in-line packages with a 2.54mm pin spacing and feature an extra wide contact zone enabling the insertion of DIPs with a distance between rows from 7.62mm to 15.24mm. The socket contact point of these Textool universal DIP sockets is 2.29mm below the top surface of the socket

Durability: 20000 actuations (at 24°C)
Temperature range -55 to +150°C

For electrical testing and prototyping applications, use this DIP socket from 3M. It lets you conveniently programme and burn in multiple ICs (integrated circuits) to detect failures early. Zero insertion force minimises the chance of you damaging your IC pins and eliminates the need for permanently soldering a circuit to your PCB. For safety during use, its glass-filled polysulfone housing provides insulation that protects you against electric shocks.

• Broad operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C for compatibility with demanding settings
• Flame-retardant to minimise the chance of it contributing to a fire
• Beryllium copper contacts withstand high testing temperatures while efficiently conducting electricity

• Industrial automation
• Electronic manufacturing
• Hobbyists

This DIP socket is designed for through-hole mounting on a circuit board.
