925384 DIP IC Sockets IC Sockets DIP IC base

DIP (Dual In-line Package) IC sockets are essential components used to mount integrated circuits (ICs) onto printed circuit boards (PCBs). They consist of two parallel rows of receptacles for IC pins, making it easier to insert and remove ICs without soldering directly to the board1. This design enhances flexibility in IC replacement and circuit testing.

Here are some key points about DIP IC sockets:

• Ease of Use: They allow for easy insertion and removal of ICs, which is particularly useful during prototyping and testing.
• Protection: They help protect ICs from heat damage during soldering.
• Variety: Available in various sizes, typically ranging from 8 to 40 pins
