Aries has expanded its line of PGA ZIF Test Sockets, with a 9 x 9 grid size version. This Aries product line allows the use of just one socket to handle a full range of device sizes, footprints and pin counts.
A strong metal cam in the socket activates the ZIF's normally-closed contacts, which eliminates a dependency on plastic to sustain contact force. Aries can provide the stainless steel handle on either the right or left side. The ZIF socket plugs into standard PGA sockets, and has replaceable pins.
The PGA ZIF Socket is manufactured of UL 94V-0 polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). Its contacts are either beryllium copper alloy 174, ½ hard, or spinodal alloy. Each contact has a current rating of 1 A. Aries offers a variety of plating options including tin/lead or gold. The contacts accept leads of 0,36-0,66 mm in diameter, and 3,05-7,37 mm long.
In addition to the new, smaller 9 x 9 grid size, multiple footprints and larger grid sizes are available from the PGA ZIF PGA Socket product line.
