Product: 14‑Pin DIP/DIL IC Socket — Double‑Row, Flat Straight Pin, Solder Version Key benefits Makes IC installation and replacement easy: solder the socket to the PCB once, then insert or remove 14‑pin DIP ICs without repeated soldering. Protects ICs from heat and mechanical stress during soldering by keeping the device removable. Standard 2.54 mm pin pitch ensures compatibility with common DIP ICs and through‑hole PCB layouts. Compact, low‑profile footprint (10 x 18 x 8 mm) fits tight board layouts while providing secure, double‑row mounting. What it does Provides a 14‑pin DIP/DIL interface for through‑hole PCBs using flat straight pins designed for soldering. Acts as a permanent board-mounted connector that holds ICs firmly while maintaining electrical contact. Key specifications Product name: 14 Pin DIP/DIL IC Socket Pin count: 14 Pin configuration: Double rows, flat straight pins Mounting type: Solder version (through‑hole) Pin pitch: 2.54 mm Dimensions (L x W x D): 10 x 18 x 8 mm Why choose this socket Reliable, repeatable connections without soldering the IC itself. Easy integration into standard PCB designs due to 2.54 mm pitch and standard DIP layout. Double‑row pin layout provides mechanical stability and consistent electrical contact. Typical applications Prototyping and development: install and swap DIP ICs quickly during testing and iteration. Repair and maintenance: replace faulty ICs without desoldering, reducing risk to the PCB and surrounding components. Small production runs and hobby electronics: offer a durable, soldered mounting solution while keeping ICs serviceable. Installation notes Designed for through‑hole soldering; solder all pins to PCB pads for secure mounting. Confirm board footprint matches 14‑pin DIP spacing (2.54 mm pitch) before assembly. This 14‑pin DIP/DIL IC socket provides a practical, standardized solution for mounting and servicing DIP ICs on PCB assemblies while minimizing heat exposure and simplifying component replacement.
