RoHS-compliant 20-pin PLCC to 16-pin DIP adapters

24 January 2007 Interconnection

Aries Electronics has introduced an RoHS-compliant version of its 20-pin PLCC IC to 16-pin DIP Correct-A-Chip adapter. The new adapter is a cost effective way of converting a PLCC-packaged type clock chip to a DIP footprint without changing the PCB layout.

The RoHS-compliant adapter features a PLCC clock chip on top with pin counts from 1 through 20 pins, and has a 1- through 16-pin DIP clock chip on the bottom. The design is unique in that it is slightly offset to avoid typical bypass capacity placement.

The body of the adapter is constructed of a 1,56 mm thick, glass-filled IS-410 material with 28 grams of copper traces on both sides. The male pins are brass alloy 360 with 0,3 μm minimum gold plating per MIL-G-45204 over 3 μm minimum nickel plating. Socket version pins are phosphor bronze alloy. The pads are finished with ENIG, the suggested PCB hole diameter is 0,71 mm, and the maximum operating temperature is 105°C.

The new adapter is part of Aries' Correct-A-Chip intelligent connectors that can modify existing designs without changing existing PCB layouts.
