Since this receptacle has an outside diameter of only .026, it has application in miniature connectors with grid spacing down to and even below 0,8mm.
A common application would be to make socket savers for fine pitch ZIF test and burn-in sockets. Here the miniature socket assembly is soldered to the burn-in board, and the ZIF burn-in socket is plugged into it. The ZIF socket can then be easily replaced at the end of its life without having to replace the burn-in board.
It is also suitable for other miniature applications, such as the machine-patient interface of medical instruments.
