8 Pin DIP IC Socket Base Adaptor Connector – Solder Type 2.54mm Pitch for Arduino & DIY Circuits in Pakistan

Overview

The 8-Pin DIP IC Socket is a standard 2.54mm (0.1″) pitch connector designed to hold small-scale integrated circuits. In prototyping, chips are often the most expensive and fragile components. This socket acts as a heat buffer; you solder the socket to your PCB or stripboard, and then simply press the IC into the gold or tin-plated contacts. If you ever need to upgrade your firmware (on an ATTiny85) or replace a blown timer, you can do it in seconds without a desoldering pump.

Key Features

• Non-Destructive Prototyping: Switch between different Op-Amps or Timers to test circuit behavior without damaging the board.

• Standard Compatibility: Fits perfectly into breadboards, donut boards, and professional PCBs.

• Orientation Notch: Features a semi-circle notch on one end to match the “Dot” or “U” on your IC, preventing reverse installation.

• Dual-Leaf Contacts: Provides a tight, vibration-resistant grip on the IC pins for a continuous electrical path.

• High Temperature Housing: The black thermoplastic body can withstand standard soldering temperatures without melting.
