18 Pin DIP IC Socket Base Adaptor Connector – Solder Type 2.54mm Pitch for ULN2803 & PIC Microcontrollers in Pakistan

Overview

The 18-Pin DIP IC Socket is a standard 2.54mm (0.1″) pitch connector designed for through-hole mounting on PCBs and stripboards. For chips with 18 pins, the mechanical stress of desoldering is high; using this socket allows for “Plug-and-Play” maintenance. It features a notched end to help you align “Pin 1” correctly every time, ensuring your high-density chips are installed safely and professionally.

Key Features

• Safe Soldering: Solder the socket to the board first, then plug in the IC to avoid thermal damage to sensitive silicon.

• Firm Mechanical Grip: Dual-beam contacts provide a vibration-resistant connection, perfect for mobile robotics.

• Standard 2.54mm Pitch: Fits perfectly into all standard breadboards, Vero boards, and high-density PCBs.

• Easy Troubleshooting: Swap out suspected faulty driver chips in seconds without a soldering iron.

• Polarity Indicator: Integrated notch matches the IC’s orientation mark for error-free assembly.
