ICA Series Automated Insertion DIP Sockets Data Sheet

Category: Electronics, Samtec Inc, Sockets And Chip Carriers

Product Overview

The ICA Series datasheet presents details about automated insertion Dual Inline Package (DIP) sockets with a pitch of 2.54mm (100″). Designed to mate with the APA series, these sockets are ideal for automatic insertion equipment, fulfilling the demands for high-speed production. The open body design and offer of various row spacings and numbers of contacts cater to a wide range of needs in electronic assemblies.

Variants and Options

Variants include different styles and plating options, which facilitate customization for specific applications. Key style options include wire-wrap tail styles (~W, ~ZW), printed circuit tail styles (~S), and low insertion force options (~ZS, ~ZA). For plating, the options available are gold contacts with gold shell (GG), gold contacts with tin shell (GT), and tin contacts with tin shell (ST). The 3328 variant is noted to have no crossbar on one end, indicating a unique design feature among the series.

Specifications

Electrical and mechanical properties include insulation resistance of 5000 MΩ min, temperature ranges from -55°C to +125°C depending on plating, a withstanding voltage of 1000 VRMS, and a current rating of 1A. Contact resistance is kept low at 10mΩ maximum. The ICA series can handle a lead size range from 0.015″ (0.38mm) to 0.022″ (0.56mm) diameter, accommodating most integrated circuit leads.

Insertion and Withdrawal Forces

Insertion force for a single contact is around 0.2 oz average for standard types and 2.5 oz for low insertion force types. Withdrawal force averages at 2.5 oz for standard and 2.0 oz for low insertion force types.

Lead-Free and Compliance

This socket series is lead-free, solderable through wave soldering processes only, and RoHS compliant, thus aligning with current environmental and health standards regarding hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
