They are available on 10.16 mm (0.400") and 15.24 mm (0.600") centers and have an operating temperature of up to 221°F (105°C). Each adapter is constructed of 1.56 mm (0.062") FR406 or IS410 per IPC4101A/26, with one ounce of copper traces on both sides. Its pins are 360-1/2 hard brass alloy per UNS C36000 ASTM-B16-85 with 10 µ" minimum gold plating per MIL-G-4524 over 100 µ" nickel plating per QQ-N-290. The suggested PCB hole diameter is 0.71 mm (0.028") and all tolerances are 0.13 mm (0.005").

Aries will continue to offer the standard non-RoHS compliant version of the adapter for customers who require tin/lead plating. All Aries Correct-A-Chip adapters are available in custom materials, platings, sizes and configurations to suit specific customer applications.
