Tool straightens pins with no static risk
Aries Electronics has introduced the first antistatic version of a tool that provides a fast, easy and inexpensive means of straightening the pins of DIP IC devices.
The new Aries 7484-117-18 adapter uses a gold-plated bump for achieving the SMT connection.
This design feature not only eliminates the possibility of bent leads, but provides a rigid, non-slumping standoff for the solder connection.
The adapter features a thin substrate construction yet still provides 0.38mm for under fill, if desired.
The UL94V0-rated adapter body is constructed of a 1.57mm-thick glass-filled FR-4 material with 28g copper traces.
Male connections are a proprietary patent pending ENIG (electroless nickel immersion gold) plating over silver epoxy.
In addition to these standard materials, the new Aries adapter, part of the company's unique Correct-A-Chip line of intelligent connectors, can be furnished in custom materials, platings, sizes and configurations to meet specific application needs.
Pricing for a standard 7484-117-18 adapter is $28.43 each in quantities of 100.
Delivery is stock to two weeks ARO.
