28-Pin DIP Socket for Legacy IC Support
The 5-1437536-2: It accepts standard 0.300"-wide 28-pin DIP packages — the footprint that fits 8-bit MCUs, EPROMs, and legacy logic families. The closed-frame construction protects the contact beams during handling and soldering. The beryllium copper contact material with gold mating finish delivers a 10 mOhm max contact resistance and supports repeated insertion cycles in corrosive or vibration-prone environments.
Sourcing an Obsolete Part — Where the Stock Is
TE Connectivity lists the 5-1437536-2 as Obsolete. No direct pin-compatible replacement is published by the manufacturer — a board spin or alternate footprint is required if a substitute is needed. Available through independent distribution channels. Date-coded lots are confirmed at RFQ; no franchise stock remains.
What Mates and How It Mounts
Brass post material provides adequate solderability and mechanical retention. The closed frame prevents the contacts from being damaged during insertion of the IC.
