Description
The 18 Pin DIP IC Socket Base Adaptor (Pack of 5) is a high-quality PCB mount IC socket designed for securely mounting and replacing 18-pin Dual In-line Package (DIP) integrated circuits without soldering the IC directly onto the PCB. It protects temperature-sensitive and expensive ICs from soldering heat while allowing quick installation, removal, replacement, and reprogramming whenever required. This removable IC holder is widely used in electronics development, circuit testing, industrial equipment, and repair applications.
Manufactured with phosphor bronze contacts and tin-plated terminals, this JDEC-compliant DIP socket delivers reliable electrical conductivity, excellent mechanical strength, and long service life. The molded orientation notch ensures correct IC alignment during installation, while the precision contact design provides firm retention with smooth insertion and extraction. Suitable for microcontrollers, programmable ICs, analog and digital ICs, PCB prototyping, OEM manufacturing, laboratory testing, and educational electronics projects.
