	Socket Construction   Precision sized for pointing accuracy   Press ring interferes with mounting hole to secure socket at any set height   Indent retains probe and provides secure electrical connection between socket and probe tube   Strong, straight, airtight, lead-free soldered construction   Round or square tailpins are available in a variety of lengths       Cross-sections of the soldered socket joint show the interference fit of the tailpin in the tube and the complete filling of all gaps with lead-free solder. The design and construction of the socket are as critical to the test process as the probe itself. QA Technology offers sockets deep-drawn from nickel silver, beryllium copper, stainless steel or our proprietary high-conductivity alloy. They may also be gold plated depending upon the application requirements. We offer a variety of termination styles, such as wire wrap, solder cup, wireless, etc. in all of our product sizes. Square or round tail pins for our .100 [2.54] and .075 [1.91] center spacing sockets are made by automatically soldering the pins to the socket tube. This generation of sockets sets new standards in straightness, leak-tightness and strength in both tension and torsion.
