IC socket (70 poles) for SSOP employing a locking system through the use of our exclusive sliding lever

We are pleased to announce the development and the commencement of marketing of an IC socket (70 poles) for SSOP, for game machines and amusement equipment such as PACHINKO and PACHISURO. Specifics of this product are outlined below.

This product is a 0.8 mm-spacing 70-pole IC socket for SSOP, or a high density mountable IC package, typically used for internal mounting in the game machine market.

The employment of a locking system (patent pending) through the use of a sliding lever exclusive to us has made one-piece sockets a reality for reduction of manpower for IC mounting or elevated productivity. The provision of the sliding lever structure ensures better IC contact, relieves PWBs from application of load during insertion and extraction of ICs, and improves reliability of soldering.

ICs can be inserted or extracted very easily with a low operation force if a dedicated tool is used.

Note) SSOP: Shrink Small Outline Package
