Description:
The 18 Pin 0.3 Inch DIL IC Socket – Pack of 5 is an essential component for reliable prototyping and secure IC installation. These dual in-line (DIL) sockets are specifically designed to hold 18-pin integrated circuits with a 7.62 mm (0.3 inch) pitch, offering a snug and stable connection without the need for direct soldering. This not only preserves the integrity of the ICs but also simplifies replacement and troubleshooting during development or repair tasks.
Moreover, these sockets are ideal for use in breadboard or PCB applications, particularly when socketing valuable or sensitive ICs. With gold- or tin-plated contacts to ensure strong electrical connectivity and resistance to corrosion, they are a perfect fit for various digital and analogue ICs. Whether you’re working on DIY electronics, educational kits, or professional hardware designs, these sockets help reduce mechanical stress on IC pins and extend component lifespan significantly.
