Multicomp Pro DIL IC Socket 16 Way 0.3in Turned Pin

The Multicomp Pro DIL IC Socket is a high-quality, 16-way integrated circuit socket designed for reliable and secure electronic connections. It features a dual in-line (DIL) or DIP socket configuration, making it a standard component for prototyping and permanent installations on printed circuit boards (PCBs).

This socket is constructed with turned pins for superior electrical conductivity and mechanical durability, ensuring a solid fit into the PCB. The internal contacts are made from beryllium copper, a material known for its excellent spring properties and electrical performance. These contacts are gold-plated to provide a low-resistance connection and to prevent oxidation, guaranteeing long-term reliability and signal integrity for sensitive integrated circuits.

With a precise pitch spacing of 2.54mm and a row pitch of 7.62mm (0.3 inches), this socket is perfectly compatible with a vast range of standard 16-pin DIL integrated circuits. This allows for easy insertion and removal of ICs, protecting their delicate leads from soldering heat and simplifying circuit testing and maintenance.

Its compact dimensions make it an ideal choice for densely populated boards where space is at a premium. The robust design ensures it can withstand repeated insertion and removal cycles, making it a dependable choice for both development labs and finished electronic products.
