Description:
The NE555 Timer DIP 8 IC – Pack of 5 is a legendary and versatile integrated circuit used for generating accurate time delays, oscillations, and pulse-width modulation (PWM). It supports three primary modes of operation—monostable, astable, and bistable—making it ideal for a wide variety of timing and waveform generation applications in both analogue and digital electronics. Whether you’re building a simple LED flasher or a complex delay circuit, the NE555 offers consistent and configurable timing performance.
Housed in a compact 8-pin DIP package, the NE555 is easy to use in breadboards and through-hole PCB designs. It can operate with a wide supply voltage range from 4.5V to 16V and can source or sink up to 200 mA of output current, allowing it to drive LEDs, speakers, and small relays directly. Known for its reliability and simplicity, this 5-pack is a staple for engineers, hobbyists, educators, and anyone working on timing-critical electronic circuits.
