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 UL94V0 rated adapter is constructed with a 1.575mm-thick, glass filled FR-4 material with 28g copper traces.
The male pins are brass alloy 360 per ASTM-B-16 plated with 5um tin over 2.5um nickel per QQ-N-290, and are both soldered and pressed into the body, providing a rugged and reliable solder connection.
The extremely low profile of the adapter provides extra room for mounting the component in space-restricted applications.
This adapter is part of Aries' line of Correct-A-Chip intelligent connectors, which can modify and upgrade existing designs without changing existing PCB layouts.
Pricing for a Correct-A-Chip 160-306045-10 is $25 in quantities of 50.
Delivery is three weeks ARO.
