This document introduces the features and specifications of the 10004 PGA test and burn-in sockets produced by ARES company. The seat is made of black UL 94V-0 polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), with gold, nickel-plated beryllium-copper alloy or nickel-boron-plated Spinodal alloy contacts, with a contact current rating of 1 amp and a working temperature range of -85°F to 257°F (-65°C to 125°C) (gold plating), -85°F to 392°F (-65°C to 200°C) (nickel-plated Spinodal).
The handbook describes Aries' Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) PGA test and burn‑in sockets, highlighting a strong metal cam for reliable contact force and optional left‑ or right‑hand handles. It notes that special handle requirements can be arranged directly with the factory.
Key specifications include a black UL 94V‑0 PPS body, Beryllium‑Copper or Spinodal alloy contacts with various plating options, a 1 A contact current rating, and operating temperature ranges from –85 °F up to 257 °F (Gold) or 392 °F (Nickel). The document also lists accepted lead dimensions, suggested PCB hole size, and provides a square PCB footprint drawing.
