    Description

    IC sockets (integrated circuit socket) act as static connectors between integrated circuits (ICs) and printed circuit boards (PCBs). IC Sockets are used for two primary reasons:

    • IC sockets prevent damage to ICs caused by soldering IC chips directly to the circuit board. Instead, the more durable IC sockets are soldered to the board and the chip is simply inserted into the socket.
    • IC sockets allow ICs to be inserted and removed easily. This means damaged IC chips can be replaced with relative ease without damaging the PCB.

    IC Socket Structure Map:

    1. Designed for automatic machine insertion — IC-to-socket or socket-to-board
    2. Large target area with tapered lead-in ramps for easy DIP insertion
    3. Polarization notch

    1. Why should I use IC sockets instead of soldering the IC directly to the PCB?

    Using sockets allows for easy replacement or upgrading of ICs, reduces the risk of damaging the IC during soldering, and enables easier testing and debugging.

    2. Are these sockets compatible with all DIP ICs?

    These sockets are compatible with standard DIP ICs that match the pin counts specified (6, 8, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, 28 AND 40 pins).

    3. What material are these IC sockets made from?

    These sockets are typically made from durable plastic with metal contacts, ensuring good conductivity and reliability.

    4. Do these sockets support through-hole mounting?

    Yes, these DIP IC sockets are designed for through-hole mounting on PCBs.

    5. How do I properly install an IC into the socket?

    Align the IC pins with the socket holes, ensuring the notch or dot on the IC aligns with the socket's key, and gently press it in.

    6. Are these sockets suitable for beginners or only for experienced technicians?

    These sockets are suitable for both beginners and experienced users, making them great for educational and hobby projects.

    These sockets are suitable for both beginners and experienced users, making them great for educational and hobby projects.

    Yes, as long as there’s enough space and the corresponding ICs are compatible with the sockets used.

    8. Is this pack suitable for beginners or only for experienced technicians?

    This pack is suitable for both beginners and experienced users, as it includes various types for diverse applications.

    9. Do these sockets help protect ICs from heat damage?

    Yes, they prevent direct soldering heat exposure to ICs

    10. Can I purchase specific types individually rather than in a pack?

    This product is sold as a complete pack, but individual types may be available separately upon bulk request.
