24-4518-10E

The 24-4518-10E is a type of socket that is commonly used as a connector for in-circuit testing, or "ICT" for short. It is designed to fit into the standard dual in-line package, or DIP, pin outline found on most ICs, transistors, and integrated circuits. The 24-4518-10E is also useful for other applications, such as testing boards that contain multiple components, as well as soldering and reworking. The 24-4518-10E can be used to connect multiple components together on a single board, to test them individually or in tandem.

The 24-4518-10E utilizes a ZIF (zero insertion force) socket, which allows for easy insertion of the IC package. The socket is constructed of a high-temperature plastic, which is designed to hold up to the rigors of in-circuit testing. The socket also has gold-plated contacts on the underside, which provide excellent electrical conductivity and ensure reliable connections.

The 24-4518-10E also has a built-in current limiter, which prevents the socket from drawing too much power from the IC or board being tested. This helps to protect the IC or board from damage due to excessive current draw. The current limiter also helps reduce noise and interference, which is especially important when testing sensitive components.

The 24-4518-10E is compatible with most DIP and QIP IC packages, including bipolar and FET transistors. It is also capable of handling a wide range of voltages and amperages, making it suitable for a variety of testing scenarios. Another feature of the 24-4518-10E is the ability to connect multiple boards together, allowing for testing multiple components simultaneously.

The 24-4518-10E is also easy to install and requires no special tools. All that is required is a soldering iron, which makes it suitable for a variety of in-circuit testing scenarios. This makes the 24-4518-10E a perfect choice for anyone who needs a reliable socket to quickly attach and test components.
