The ZIF SOCKET 318G is a high-quality 18-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) DIP socket designed for reliable IC mounting, testing, and prototyping applications. Featuring a standard 2.54mm pitch and a compact 7.5mm body width, this receptacle ensures precise alignment and secure retention of 18-pin dual in-line package (DIP) integrated circuits.
Its zero insertion force mechanism, operated by a smooth locking lever, allows ICs to be inserted and removed without applying pressure to the pins. This design prevents bent leads, reduces mechanical stress, and significantly extends both socket and component lifespan-making it ideal for repeated programming, testing, and development work.
Gold-plated contacts provide superior conductivity, low contact resistance, and enhanced corrosion resistance, ensuring consistent electrical performance over many mating cycles. The durable housing is built to withstand demanding environments, and with IP67 protection, the socket offers resistance against dust ingress and temporary immersion, making it suitable for more rugged applications.
