ZS ZIF Test Sockets

Description

Lever-operated ZIF socket selection

ZS431, ZS431A, ZS432 and ZS432A use lever-operated zero insertion force socket structures with through-hole PCB terminals. Select longitudinal pitch, contact count and PCB row spacing together. Each model has a distinct body and lever-clearance drawing.

Each socket has two contact rows. Longitudinal pitch and transverse terminal-row spacing are separate dimensions.

Electrical ratings and operating conditions

CharacteristicAll four models
Rated voltage and current50VDC, 100mA
Insulation resistance≥1000MΩ
Withstand test500VAC for 1 minute
Operating life5000 cycles with load
Operating temperature-25°C to +70°C
Storage temperature-40°C to +85°C
Humidity test condition95%RH at 40°C for 48 hours
Solderability testAfter flux application, 230°C for 5 ±0.5 seconds; 95% coverage
Resistance to soldering heat260°C ±5°C for 5 ±1 seconds

The 500VAC value is a one-minute withstand test, distinct from the 50VDC rating. The cycle-life statement specifies operation with load without separately detailing the life-test load. Solderability and heat-resistance entries are test conditions.

The order sequence combines the model, contact count, plating code and housing colour. Gold flash code 0 belongs to the A-suffix models.

ZS431 2.54mm socket

ZS431 contact counts, tin or 3µin gold finish and blue black green colour codes
ZS431 ordering options for 24–48 contacts.

A is overall body length and B is the centre distance between the end fastener references. Values are in millimetres.

Body width is 22.90mm, with 18.50mm and 7.10mm top-view references. PCB row spacing is 15.24mm. Housing height is 11.20mm; raised-lever clearance is 22.9mm reference. PCB leads project 3.2mm, with 0.80mm and 0.35mm terminal dimensions and a 0.50mm lower reference. For N contacts per row, the end-pin span is (N − 1) × 2.54mm; the lever-side end offset is 10.5mm.

ZS431A 2.0mm socket

ZS431A contact counts and full tin 3µin gold or gold flash finishes
ZS431A order choices from 10 to 40 contacts.

The dimensioned outline has a 38.0mm end-pin span at 2.00mm pitch, corresponding to 20 positions per row and 40 contacts total. Its dimensions should not be extended to other counts without their matching outline.

ZS432 2.54mm socket

ZS432 14 to 48 contacts, tin or gold finishes and three housing colours
ZS432 ordering options span two PCB row-spacing groups.

A is overall body length, B is end fastener reference spacing, C is the inner transverse reference, D is overall body width and E is PCB terminal-row spacing. Values are in millimetres.

Housing height is 11.20mm and raised-lever clearance is 22.9mm reference. PCB leads project 3.2mm, with 0.80mm and 0.35mm terminal dimensions. The top-view slot reference is 3.60mm. For N contacts per row, end-pin span is (N − 1) × 2.54mm; lever-side end offset is 10.5mm.

ZS432 grouped dimensions with 7.62mm and 15.24mm terminal rows
ZS432 dimensions preserve the shared C/D/E values for each contact-count group.

ZS432A 1.778mm socket

ZS432A 28 to 90 contacts with full tin 3µin gold or gold flash finishes
ZS432A ordering choices for six contact counts.

A is overall body length, B is end fastener reference spacing, C is body width, D is PCB terminal-row spacing and E is end-pin span along a row. E is the nominal span calculated as (contacts/2 − 1) × 1.778mm, rounded to two decimal places. Values are in millimetres.
