Connectors for use in d.c., low frequency analogue and digital high speed data applications - Part 5: In-line sockets with assessed quality; Sectional specification
This part of IEC 61076 relates to the plug-in sockets designed for in-line electronic packages of assessed quality. Sockets covered by this specification are devices which provide a means of interchangeability between devices and compliance between mating limits.
The scope of this specification covers sockets for packages with contacts having one of the following in-line formats.
a) Single in-line sockets.
b) Dual in-line sockets.
c) Quad in-line sockets.
d) Zig-zag in-line (staggered) sockets.
The object of this specification is to define
· a unified numbering system;
· functional levels and standard test methods and gauges for use in the examination of these sockets;
· appropriate reference dimensions of the mating device and board layout to establish intermateability and interchangeability criteria. Test severity and performance require-ments prescribed in detail specifications referring to this sectional specification shall be equal to, or greater than, those specified herein; degradations are not permitted.
