The datasheet describes an EJECT-A-DIP Lock/Eject DIP Socket designed by ARIES ELECTRONICS, INC., which is known for its ruggedness and capability to withstand high-vibration environments. It features a unique ejector/latch system that enables fast in-field maintenance by allowing safe and easy removal of DIP (Dual In-line Package) without causing damage. The latch also securely locks in the connected device or connector.

General Specifications

The latch and body of the DIP socket are made of black UL-94V-0 glass-filled 4/6 Nylon. Its pin body consists of Brass 360 1/2-hard per UNS C36000 ASTM B16/B1GM-05 and several options for the pin body plating. This plating can be 10u (0.25p) minimum of gold per MIL-G-45204, 200p (5.08u) minimum of 93/7 Sn/Pb per ASTM B545, or 200p (5.08p) minimum tin per ASTM B545 on top of 100u (2.54pu) minimum nickel per SAE AMS-QQ-N-290B.

The socket utilizes 6-finger collet contacts made of BeCu per UNS C17200 ASTM B194-08 and provides optional platings for the contacts as well. This includes heavy gold, tin, or a combination of both.

Mounting Considerations

For mounting, the suggested PCB hole size is 0.030 +0.002 inches (0.76 +0.05mm) in diameter. All dimensions are specified in inches and millimeters, with tolerances of +0.005 inches (0.13mm) unless stated otherwise. Additional datasheets (12023 for surface mount pins and 12025 for wire wrap pins) are referenced for different configurations.

Customization and Ordering Information

ARIES prides itself on custom design and production, offering to furnish special materials, platings, sizes, and configurations based on the requested quantity. However, the manufacturer reserves the right to alter product specifications without notice, and it is advised that printed versions of this document may be outdated and should be considered uncontrolled. For more detailed ordering information and specifications, or to inquire about customization options, customers can refer to the datasheet or contact ARIES ELECTRONICS directly using the provided contact information.

The datasheet also emphasizes the company’s commitment to compliance with industry standards, as evidenced by the note “RoHS Compliant”. This suggests alignment with regulations restricting the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
