44-536-11 PLCC ZIF Socket Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Aries Electronics 44-536-11 is a 44-position (4 x 11) PLCC Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket with gold-plated contacts designed for through-hole mounting applications. This component provides reliable interconnection for PLCC-packaged integrated circuits and transistors in electronic assemblies. Alternative models may be required due to inventory constraints, specific application requirements, or design modifications necessitating different pin configurations or mounting technologies.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 44-536-11 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Socket Type: PLCC ZIF architecture
• Contact Material: Gold plating for corrosion resistance and electrical performance
• Manufacturer Consistency: Aries Electronics product line

The identified substitute part (84-537-21) shares the same socket type and contact material specifications. However, it differs in position count (84 positions versus 44 positions) and mounting technology (surface mount versus through hole). These differences establish distinct application domains and require explicit engineering evaluation for compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between the 44-536-11 and 84-537-21 must be based on specific application requirements:

44-536-11 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring 44-position PLCC socket configuration
• Through-hole mounting technology integration
• PCB designs with through-hole interconnection specifications

84-537-21 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring 84-position PLCC socket configuration
• Surface-mount technology (SMT) integration
• PCB designs with surface-mount interconnection specifications

Both parts are manufactured by Aries Electronics with gold-plated contacts and ZIF socket architecture. The fundamental differences in position count and mounting technology preclude direct one-to-one substitution without circuit design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 84-537-21 directly replace the 44-536-11 in an existing assembly?

A: No. The 84-537-21 has a different position count (84 versus 44) and uses surface-mount technology instead of through-hole mounting. Direct substitution requires PCB redesign and component footprint modification.

Q: What is the significance of the position count difference?

A: Position count (44 versus 84) determines the number of electrical connections available. The 44-536-11 accommodates 44-pin PLCC packages, while the 84-537-21 accommodates 84-pin PLCC packages. These are distinct package classes with different pin configurations.

Q: Are both parts suitable for new designs?

A: Both parts are available in stock as new original components from Aries Electronics. Selection depends on the PLCC package size required by the integrated circuit or transistor being socketed and the PCB mounting technology specified in the design.

Q: What mounting technology difference exists between these parts?

A: The 44-536-11 uses through-hole mounting, where leads pass through the PCB and are soldered on the opposite side. The 84-537-21 uses surface-mount technology, where the component is soldered directly to the PCB surface. These require different PCB layouts and assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts use the same contact material?

A: Yes. Both the 44-536-11 and 84-537-21 feature gold-plated contacts, ensuring consistent electrical performance and corrosion resistance across the Aries Electronics socket product line.
