Multicomp Pro DIL IC Socket, 24 Way, 7.62mm Pitch

The Multicomp Pro DIL IC Socket offers a reliable and convenient solution for the safe installation and replacement of 24-pin dual in-line (DIL) integrated circuits. Designed with precision, it features tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts mounted on a durable PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) insulator, ensuring excellent electrical conductivity and long-term stability in demanding environments.

This socket utilises turned pin contacts, providing a secure and gas-tight connection that minimises signal loss and maximises reliability. With a standard 2.54mm (0.1 inch) pitch spacing and a 7.62mm row pitch, it is compatible with a wide range of standard DIL IC packages, making it a versatile component for prototyping, testing, and final assembly.

Key Electrical & Performance Specifications

Engineered for robust performance, this IC socket is rated for a current of 1A and operates within a wide temperature range from -55°C to +125°C. It boasts a low maximum contact resistance of 20mΩ and a high minimum insulator resistance of 1000MΩ, ensuring efficient power delivery and excellent insulation. The socket can withstand a dielectric voltage of 1000VAC for one minute, confirming its reliability in preventing electrical breakdown.

Its compact dimensions (33mm width, 43mm height, 15mm depth) and low profile make it suitable for high-density PCB layouts. The use of a PBT insulator provides good resistance to heat and chemicals, while the phosphor bronze contacts offer superior spring properties and corrosion resistance.

Typical Applications

This 24-way DIL socket is an essential component across various electronic sectors. Its primary use is in Industrial control systems, measurement equipment, and automation hardware where reliable IC mounting is critical. It is also widely used in Communications and Networking equipment, such as routers, switches, and interface cards, where it facilitates the
