8 Pin Dip Ic Base Socket (Pack of 10)

Product Features:

1. 8 Pin DIP Socket Design: This IC socket is specifically designed for 8-pin Dual In-line Package (DIP) ICs, one of the most commonly used types of ICs in electronic circuits. The design ensures a secure connection for your 8-pin components, while also allowing for easy swapping of ICs.

2. Durable and High-Quality Material: The socket is constructed with high-quality plastic (typically nylon) for the base and metal contacts to ensure a reliable and long-lasting connection. The robust materials help maintain consistent electrical conductivity and prevent pin damage during installation or removal.

3. Solderable: The pins of the socket are designed for easy soldering onto a PCB (Printed Circuit Board), ensuring secure attachment to your circuit. The soldering points are spaced at the standard 2.54mm (0.1 inch) pitch, making it compatible with most circuit boards and ensuring a strong and reliable connection.

4. Easy Insertion and Removal: The DIP socket is designed for easy insertion and removal of the IC, allowing for hassle-free prototyping, testing, and repairing. This feature prevents the wear and tear of IC pins, which can often happen when they are directly soldered to a board.

5. Pack of 10: This product comes in a pack of 10 individual IC sockets, providing multiple sockets for projects or repairs that require several 8-pin DIP ICs. It’s a great value for those who need a batch of IC bases for continuous use in their work.

6. Standard 8-Pin Configuration: The socket is designed to accommodate standard 8-pin DIP ICs. It works well for many commonly used ICs, such as small logic gates, microcontrollers, sensors, and other basic electronic components.

Applications:

• Prototyping and Testing: Ideal for prototyping and testing circuits where the ICs need to be inserted or removed frequently.
• Repairs and Replacements: Perfect for replacing faulty 8-pin DIP ICs in existing circuits, reducing the risk of damaging IC pins or the board itself.
• DIY Electronics Projects: Great for hobbyists and engineers working on small projects, like sensors, controllers, and logic circuits.
• Educational Use: Used in classrooms and labs to demonstrate and experiment with various 8-pin ICs, making it easier to swap out components for different testing scenarios.
