18 Pin - DIP IC Socket/Base (DIP-18pin)

18 Pin DIP IC Socket/Base (DIP-18pin)

The 18 Pin DIP IC Socket/Base (DIP-18pin) is an essential component for any electronics project involving dual in-line package integrated circuits. It provides a reliable and convenient way to mount and connect 18-pin ICs without direct soldering. This socket helps prevent potential heat damage to sensitive ICs during the soldering process. It also simplifies circuit testing and prototyping, allowing for easy insertion and removal of ICs. Constructed from robust black thermoplastic with tin-plated alloy contacts, it ensures excellent conductivity and durability. A distinct notch aids in correct IC orientation, and its design allows for end-to-end mounting for custom configurations. Perfect for both hobbyists and professional engineers, this DIP-18pin socket enhances the longevity and reusability of your integrated circuits.
