DIP Sockets For Reliable Connections

SIP (Single In-Line Package) sockets with machined female header, DIP (Dual In-Line Package) sockets and HOLTITE sockets can provide a reliable connection between integrated circuit devices and printed circuit boards. The HOTLITE socket contact is designed as a press-fit solution with the plated through-hole of a printed wiring board. For DIP package components, the HOLTITE socket contacts on reel have disposable terminal carriers that can be peeled away and disposed of after assembly.

IC-to-Socket-to-Board
Four-Fingered Contacts

Four-Fingered Contacts

Precision machined or stamped four-finger inner contacts with open or closed frame housings facilitate highly reliable DIP sockets.

Dual Leaf Contacts

Dual Leaf Contacts

Dual leaf contacts provide a cost effective solution to the DIP socket design with superior handling characteristics.

Zero Profile(HOLTITE)

Zero Profile(HOLTITE)

HOLTITE socket contact is designed to be press-fit into the plated-thru hole of a printed wiring board, offering the solderless zero profile by allowing the plated-thru hole to become the component socket. For DIP package components, the HOLTITE socket contacts on reel provide with disposable terminal carriers, which can be peeled away and disposed after assembly.
