The 28 Pin IC Socket / Base – DIP is an electronic component designed for mounting 28-pin integrated circuits securely onto printed circuit boards (PCBs). It allows ICs to be installed and removed easily without soldering the IC directly to the board, making it highly useful for prototyping, testing, repair, and maintenance applications.
This socket is specifically made for DIP (Dual Inline Package) ICs and is commonly used with microcontrollers, memory ICs, communication ICs, and other 28-pin integrated circuits. By using an IC socket, sensitive IC components are protected from excessive soldering heat, reducing the risk of permanent damage during assembly.
The socket features a strong heat-resistant plastic body along with durable metal contact terminals that ensure reliable electrical connectivity and secure IC retention. Its standard 2.54mm pin spacing provides compatibility with most DIP-28 package integrated circuits and PCB layouts.
