Textool DIP Sockets and Receptacles

SOCKET:

The classic 3M Textool ZIP DIP Sockets have reliably served the needs of semiconductor producers and users for over

twenty years. For test, burn-in or programming of devices in dual-in-line packages, the lever actuated zero insertion

force mechanism allows easy insertion and withdrawal without lead damage. Companion receptacles allow easy

socket replacement for high use applications such as DUT boards and programming.

RECEPTACLE:

Use of receptacles can be a very cost-effective and practical approach for high-use applications such as programming.

A worn-out or damaged socket can be simply unplugged and replaced with a new one without the expense of

downtime or replacing the entire board.
