Low profile IC sockets

26 March 2003 Interconnection

The M.P.E. range of low profile IC sockets has many advantages for the professional user. Insulators are self extinguishing polyester/fibre reinforced to V-O UL 94 which allows an operating temperature range of -48 to +160°C. They have open frame construction for better air circulation and cooling of ICs. (Closed frame IC sockets also available). They are also side and end-stackable for maximum board utilisation.

Series MPQ (Quiet Socket) available from 14 to 40 poles (ceramic capacitor) 100 NF standard - alternatively 330 NF. Contacts are gold over nickel plated Beryllium copper BECU heat-treated and are good for 1000 insertions. Test voltage is more than 1000 Veff and insulation resistance more than 1012 Ω. Vibration and shock resistance are to MIL-STD-202, 10-2000 Hz at an acceleration rate of 20 to 150 g.

The M.P.E. range of SIL, DIL, MLC and PLCC sockets are also available with special contacts and wire-wrap terminations.
