8-Pin TO-5 Socket — Obsolete, Sourced per RFQ
The 8058-1G49 is an 8-position TO-5 transistor socket from the 8058 series, designed to mount a TO-5 can transistor through a round pin grid. Beryllium copper gives the contact fingers the spring memory to hold the transistor leads over repeated insertions; the gold finish keeps contact resistance low and resists corrosion in humid or chemically aggressive settings.
The 8058-1G49 mates with standard TO-5 transistor packages having 8 leads arranged in a circular pattern. The socket uses through-hole solder termination — the post contacts are brass with gold finish, ready for soldering into a PCB or wire lead attachment. The closed-frame design surrounds the transistor can, providing mechanical support and preventing lead shorting.
Sourcing Reality for an Obsolete Socket
Because the 8058-1G49 is obsolete, it is not stocked on a regular production basis. No official cross-reference or replacement part number exists from TE Connectivity for this socket.
