I am repairing a piece of equipment where the original manufacturer soldered in the memory chip (in my case, an 8 pin through-hole DIP). Then they put an RF shielding plate over the CPU-memory-I/O chips area of the PCB.
I need to remove the memory chip and read it and reprogram it so I need to install a socket in place of the chip.
I do not want to have to re-engineer or modify the shielding plate,
Hence I am looking for a low profile socket - one that raises the chip body the least.
Unfortunately “Height” is not a listed parameter in the DIP socket listings.
A pointer to a suitable socket would be appreciated.
Tin / lead finish and tube packaging is fine, this is for a memory chip, maybe 10 insertions/removals total in the equipment lifetime.
If that doesn’t work for you I believe the next best alternate we have in stock will be part number 17-2485264-1-ND. The case is the same thickness as the part Nathan suggested, but it has longer through-hole leads. Here is the drawing: 2485264-1
The total height of the component will be slightly taller than the actual case, about 7.43mm total due to the shape of the leads and the recommended size of the vias.
