The 16-Pin IC Base (DIP Socket) allows easy insertion and removal of 16-pin DIP integrated circuits without soldering the IC directly. It protects chips from heat damage during soldering and enables easy replacement.
Key features
- 16-pin DIP socket
- Easy IC insertion and removal
- Protects IC from soldering heat
- Facilitates IC replacement
- Standard 2.54mm pitch
- Low contact resistance
- Durable construction
Good to know
- Solder socket first, then insert IC
- Match notch orientation with IC marking
- Notch/pin 1 indicator must align with PCB marking
- Available in various pin counts (8, 14, 16, 20, 28, 40)
- Use narrow or wide body as appropriate for your IC
