516 Datasheet, PDF (1/1 Pages) Aries Electronics, Inc. – Contacts are normally open and are closed by a unique cam action controlled by dual lever arms.

Series 516 Zero-Insertion-Force Socket
FEATURES
• A choice of 24-, 28-, or 40-pin count devices can be inserted without bending or
otherwise damaging the legs, since no force is required to either insert or remove
the component from the socket.
• Contacts are normally open and are closed by a unique cam action controlled by
dual lever arms.
• The last 15° of movement of the cam provides a wiping action to the contacts on
the legs of the device to remove any residue, ensuring a gas-tight seal.
• Tapered entry helps guide the device legs into the mating position with the contacts.
SPECIFICATIONS
• Body, Handle, and Cam: Black UL 94V-0 Glass-filled 4/6 Nylon
• Pins are Be-Cu 170 or 172, 1/2-hard
