40-Pin DIP Socket — What It Holds and How It Fits
The DILB40P-223TLF: This is a 40-pin DIP socket with 0.6" (15.24mm) row spacing — the standard footprint for a 40-pin DIP device. Rated 1 A per contact with 30 mOhm contact resistance, the socket handles logic-level signals and low-power ICs without thermal concern.
Solder-Tail Length and Board Fit
The termination post length is 0.124" (3.15mm) — long enough to form a reliable solder fillet on a standard 0.062" PCB. The post is tin-plated copper alloy, compatible with both wave and hand-soldering processes. Package is tube, which means the sockets ship aligned and protected for automatic insertion equipment.

Comparing the 40-Pin to Its 28-Pin Sibling
The DILB28P-223TLF is the 28-pin (2 x 14) version of the same socket family — same 0.6" row spacing, same 1 A rating, same 100 µinch tin plating. The only difference is the pin count: 28 positions vs 40.
