This document describes the features and characteristics of 3M's 3M™ Chip Carrier Sockets Surfacemount 8400 Series, including materials, flammability, color, contact material, resistance, capacitance, insulation resistance, temperature rating, and moisture sensitivity.
The 8400 Series chip carrier sockets are designed for surface‑mount applications and accept JEDEC‑standard carriers. They feature a high‑temperature glass‑filled polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) insulator, copper‑alloy contacts with nickel plating, and an open‑top design for unrestricted airflow and easy device extraction. The sockets are RoHS‑compliant and suitable for IR reflow and wave soldering processes.
Packaging options include tube packs, tape and reel, and optional PCB locating posts. The product includes a 90‑day limited warranty and is manufactured in the USA. Technical support is available via 3M’s Interconnect Solutions contact information.
