20 Pin ZIF socket

A 20-pin ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket is designed to securely hold integrated circuits (ICs) with 20 pins, typically in Dual In-line Package (DIP) format. This type of socket allows for easy insertion and removal of ICs without applying significant force, minimizing the risk of damage to both the IC and the socket.

Key Features:

• Compatibility: Supports 20-pin DIP ICs.
• Insertion Mechanism: Features a ZIF mechanism for effortless insertion and removal of ICs.
• Operation: Utilizes a lever or slide mechanism to open and close the socket contacts, securing the IC in place when engaged.
• Contact Material: Often includes gold-plated contacts for superior conductivity and corrosion resistance.
• Material: Constructed from durable materials to withstand repeated insertion and removal cycles.
• Mounting Options: Can be installed on a PCB using through-hole or surface-mount techniques.
• Applications: Ideal for prototyping, testing, and applications where frequent IC changes are necessary without soldering.

Technical Specifications:

• Pin Count: 20
• Pin Pitch: Standard 2.54 mm (0.1 inches) pitch.
• Socket Type: Zero Insertion Force (ZIF).
• Contact Material: Typically gold-plated for optimal electrical performance.
• Housing Material: High-temperature resistant plastic or other durable materials.
• Dimensions: Designed to accommodate standard 20-pin DIP ICs.
