Description:
The 16 Pin 0.3 Inch DIL IC Socket – Pack of 5 is designed to provide secure, removable mounting for dual in-line (DIL) integrated circuits with 16 pins. With a standard 7.62 mm (0.3 inch) row spacing and 2.54 mm pin pitch, this socket ensures compatibility with most DIP-16 ICs and standard through-hole PCBs. Whether used in development, repair, or educational environments, these sockets enable safe and damage-free IC insertion and removal.
Constructed with heat-resistant thermoplastic housing and tin- or gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts, the sockets offer durable performance and excellent conductivity. They are commonly used in logic IC applications, timer circuits like the NE555, and microcontroller interfaces. This 5-pack is ideal for electronics hobbyists, repair technicians, and engineers working on prototype or small-batch production PCBs.
