Multicomp Pro DIL IC Socket, 18 Way, 0.3in Pitch, 26 Pack

The Multicomp Pro 2227MC series is a high-quality Dual In-Line (DIL) IC socket, designed for reliable and durable connections in electronic circuits. It features tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts housed within a robust PBT insulator, providing excellent electrical performance and long-term stability. This 18-way socket is supplied in a convenient pack of 26, making it ideal for both prototyping and production runs.

Technical Performance

Engineered for precision, this socket offers a consistent pitch spacing of 2.54mm (0.1in) and a row pitch of 7.62mm (0.3in), ensuring perfect compatibility with standard DIL integrated circuits. The beryllium copper contacts, finished with a tin plating, deliver a low maximum contact resistance of just 20mΩ while maintaining a high minimum insulation resistance of 1000MΩ. With a current rating of 1A and an operational temperature range from -55 to 125°C, it is built to perform reliably in demanding industrial environments.

Construction and Quality

The socket's PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) insulator provides high heat resistance, excellent mechanical strength, and good chemical resistance, ensuring the socket remains stable over its lifespan. The design facilitates easy insertion and removal of ICs, helping to protect delicate component legs from damage during testing or replacement. Its compact dimensions make it a space-saving solution on printed circuit boards.

Ideal Applications

This component is a fundamental part for anyone involved in electronics design, repair, or assembly. It is perfectly suited for use across a broad spectrum of industrial and commercial electronic equipment, providing a secure and solderless interface for integrated circuits.
