FEATURES

• A choice of 24-, 28-, or 40-pin count devices can be inserted without bending or

otherwise damaging the legs, since no force is required to either insert or remove

the component from the socket.

• Contacts are normally open and are closed by a unique cam action controlled by

dual lever arms.

• The last 15° of movement of the cam provides a wiping action to the contacts on

the legs of the device to remove any residue, ensuring a gas-tight seal.

• Tapered entry helps guide the device legs into the mating position with the contacts.
