Interconnects

Winslow began manufacturing connectors in the mid-1970s when we re-created an obsolete TO Socket for Flight Rediffusion, Crawley. This quickly developed to a range of stamped & formed contact I.C. sockets with a market share that required manufacturing rates of 70 pins per second followed by the development of a screw machined pin socket manufacturing line. We have a broad-line of industry standard Interconnect, including legacy lines, very often available from stock:

Screw Machine | Turn Pin Sockets

Termination and contact plating options: RoHS Compliant Pure Tin, Sn/Pb and Gold. Super Flat version also available which features a hollow tail allowing the IC leg to plug further into the socket thus creating a lower profile.

Dual Row Screw Machined IC Sockets

Single Row Screw Machined IC Sockets

Low Profile Super Flat IC Sockets

PCB Connectors

Single and Dual Row Female Header Sockets and Male Headers for horizontal and vertical mount in 1.27mm, 2.00mm and 2.54mm pitch available as through board or surface mount

1.27mm Square Pin Headers

Single Row 2.54mm Headers

Dual Row 2.54mm Headers

Single Row 90° 2.54mm Header

Dual Row 90° 2.54mm Header

2.54mm Multi Links

1.27mm Square Pin Header Sockets

Single Row 2.54mm Square Pin Header Sockets

Dual Row 2.54mm Square Pin Header Sockets

Stamped Pin IC Sockets

Industry standard 2.54mm and 1.78 mm designed for automatic PCB loading machines features include; overstress protection, large target area for ease of IC insertion and a 35 degree angled contact to prevent the IC leg from going behind the contact during insertion.

2.54mm Stamped Pin IC Sockets

1.78mm Stamped PIN IC Sockets

Wire Wrap

2.54mm pitch Dual in Line, Single in Line and PLCC sockets which allow for three wraps and incorporate a straight knurled barrel to alleviate pin rotation during the wrapping process.

Dual Row Wire Wrap IC Sockets

Single Row Wire Wrap IC Sockets

PLCC Sockets & Plugs

JEDEC industry standard thru board, surface mount and wire wrap PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) Sockets. PLCC Plugs plug into a PLCC socket to facilitate the addition of a daughter board, emulation module or test adapter.

Surface Mount PLCC Sockets

Through Board PLCC Sockets

Wire Wrap PLCC Sockets

PLCC Plugs

SIMM Sockets

JEDEC industry standard SIMM (Single In-line Memory Modules)

Transistor & Circular IC Sockets

Incorporating pin 1 identification and countersunk lead-ins for easy device insertion, having the outside edge of the contact external to the plastic body aids in-situ testing from the top.

8 Pin TO-99 Transistor Socket

3 Pin TO-39 Transistor Socket

3 Pin TO-18 Transistor Socket

Shorting Link/Jumpers

2.54mm pitch closed, open top and thumb pull shorting links designed to mate with 0.6mm² headers with a recommended header length 4.3mm minimum 2.00mm pitch open and closed top shorting links.

Closed/Open Top Shorting

Open Top Low Profile Shorting Link

Thumb Pull Shortling Links

OPTO/Diode Display Sockets

Specifically designed to accept 7 segment displays, allowing packages to be mounted side by side or end to end.

Custom Solutions

When our engineers consider custom interconnect they think both ends of the scale, from a small modification to a PLCC socket body and its pin plating for the ESA Solar Orbiter SPICE Instrument, which will perform extreme ultraviolet imaging spectroscopy to remotely characterize plasma properties of the Sun's on-disc corona, through to full blown socket design and associated manufacture.
