Harwin 20-Position SIP IC Socket Strip, 2.54mm Pitch, Beryllium Copper

The Harwin 20-Position SIP IC Socket Strip is a high-quality, modular component designed for reliable and flexible circuit board integration. Its 2.54mm pitch makes it a standard choice for a wide range of integrated circuits and discrete components, offering a secure connection for mating pins with a diameter of 0.40mm to 0.56mm.

Featuring a robust construction, the socket utilises a beryllium copper contact clip within a brass shell, with gold-plated contacts for excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. The housing is made from PCT material in a classic black colour, providing durability and high-temperature resistance. The terminations benefit from a 100% tin over nickel plating, ensuring reliable solderability and long-term performance.

A key feature of this socket strip is its modularity. The connectors can be easily cut to smaller sizes, allowing for customisation to fit specific project requirements without waste. Additionally, the design is side stackable, enabling the creation of multi-row configurations or denser packaging on a PCB when needed.

With a current rating of 1A and an extensive operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C, this socket is suitable for demanding commercial, industrial, and prototyping applications where performance stability is critical. Its compact dimensions ensure it saves valuable space on your board layout.
