Harwin D28 DIL IC Socket 8 Way 7.62mm Pitch, 52 Pack

The Harwin D28 DIL IC Socket provides a reliable and durable connection solution for integrated circuits on printed circuit boards (PCBs). Sold as a complete tube of 52 sockets, this pack offers excellent value for production environments or prototyping projects requiring consistent, high-quality interconnects.

Featuring a robust glass-filled polyester body, this socket is both strong and heat-resistant, making it suitable for wave and reflow soldering processes. The 8-way design with a 2.54mm pitch and a 7.62mm row pitch is the standard for many common DIL (Dual In-Line) packaged ICs, ensuring broad compatibility. A key benefit is its auto-insertable design, which allows for fast and efficient assembly in automated manufacturing lines, significantly reducing production time and labour costs.

The electrical performance is secured by high-quality beryllium copper contacts, renowned for their excellent spring properties and long-term reliability. These four-leaf contacts provide a secure, gas-tight connection with the IC pins, minimising signal loss and preventing intermittent faults. The contact points are further enhanced with a 0.25µ thick gold plating, offering superior corrosion resistance and a stable, low-resistance electrical path over the socket's lifetime.

The socket pins are made from brass and feature a tin-lead plating, ensuring excellent solderability for a strong and reliable bond to the PCB. With a compact body height of just 4.2mm, this socket maintains a low profile on the board, which is crucial in space-constrained applications. The UL-recognised body material provides an added assurance of quality and safety for your electronic designs.
