IC SOCKET Base 40 PIN DIP

Overview

This 40-pin DIP IC socket is an essential component for any electronics workbench. It provides a convenient and reliable way to mount 40-pin dual in-line package (DIP) integrated circuits onto a PCB, allowing for easy insertion, removal, and replacement without soldering directly to the IC. Perfect for prototyping, development, and production, this socket ensures your valuable ICs remain protected from heat damage and are reusable across multiple projects.

Key Features

• 40-Pin DIP Configuration: Standard 0.3-inch (7.62mm) width, ideal for common 40-pin ICs like ATmega328P, PIC microcontrollers, and many memory chips.
• High-Quality Contacts: Precision-machined or stamped contacts ensure a secure electrical connection and low contact resistance.
• Durable Construction: Made with high-temperature resistant plastic body (typically PBT or PA9T) and gold or tin-plated contacts for long-lasting performance.
• Easy IC Replacement: Allows quick swapping of ICs for programming, testing, or upgrading without desoldering.
• Through-Hole Mounting: Standard 2.54mm pitch, perfect for breadboards, PCBs, and perfboards.
