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.
TE Connectivity has not published a direct successor for this Diplomate DL DIP socket. The base product number is 382468. For a pin-compatible alternative, look for a 40-position, 0.100" pitch, 0.6" row spacing DIP socket from another manufacturer — confirm the footprint and gold plating grade before substituting.
