40-Pin DIP Socket — Footprint and Fit
The 2-382468-4: The open-frame thermoplastic housing allows airflow around each pin, which helps with thermal management in densely populated boards. Contact resistance is rated at 30mOhm, typical for gold-plated contacts at this pitch.
Available through independent distribution channels.
The open frame gives visual access to each solder joint for inspection. The 0.6" row spacing matches the common 40-pin DIP IC footprint.
