IC Holders – 18 (DIP Sockets)
🧩 IC Holders – 14, 16,18 Pin (DIP Sockets)
IC holders, also known as DIP sockets, are essential components used to securely mount integrated circuits (ICs) on PCBs without soldering them directly. They provide a reliable, removable connection, protecting ICs from heat during soldering and allowing for easy replacement or upgrades.
📦 Available Variants
| IC Holder Type | Number of Pins | Pitch | Row Spacing |
|---|---|---|---|
| DIP-14 | 14 pins | 2.54 mm | 7.62 mm |
| DIP-16 | 16 pins | 2.54 mm | 7.62 mm |
| DIP-18 | 18 pins | 2.54 mm | 7.62 mm |
Compatible with all standard DIP (Dual Inline Package) ICs, including TTL, CMOS, op-amps, microcontrollers, etc.
