IC Socket (8+8)‑ Base 16 Pin
The IC Socket (8+8)- Base 16 Pin is an essential component in electronics assembly, specifically engineered to accommodate 16-pin Dual In-Line Package (DIP) integrated circuits. This socket features a dual-row layout with eight pins on each side, providing a stable and secure platform for mounting ICs onto printed circuit boards without the need for direct soldering. By using this socket, users can protect sensitive ICs from thermal damage during installation and facilitate straightforward replacements or upgrades, which is particularly beneficial in development and maintenance scenarios
Features:
- Standard 16‑pin DIP socket base for through‑hole mounting.
- Two rows of 8+8 contacts to match 16‑pin IC packages.
- Molded notch for correct IC orientation.
- 2.54 mm (0.1″) pitch compatible with standard PCB layouts.
- Durable thermoplastic body with plated metal contacts.
