66PCS/lot DIP IC Socket Kit is a soldertype adaptor set designed to accept a range of DIP ICs and make prototyping, testing, and board assembly easier. The kit includes sockets for DIP6, DIP8, DIP14, DIP16, DIP18, DIP20, DIP24, and DIP28 pins, providing broad compatibility with common throughhole IC packages. With a total of 66 sockets per lot, this kit covers multiple package sizes in a single, convenient collection. Key benefits Protect ICs during soldering and testing by allowing the ICs to be used with a soldered socket rather than direct ICtoboard soldering. Enable rapid IC changes and iteration during development, debugging, and experimentation without repeated desoldering. Reusable and durable solution for prototyping, board , and educational projects. Versatile selection of pin counts supports a wide range of DIP ICs, from small to large packages. Simple, reliable connections suitable for standard DIP ICs, helping to reduce rework and EMI concerns during testing. Key attributes Functionality: DIP IC sockets/adaptors in a soldertype kit for throughhole DIP ICs. Compatibility: supports DIP6, DIP8, DIP14, DIP16, DIP18, DIP20, DIP24, and DIP28 pin ICs. Size: assorted pin counts covered within a single 66piece kit. Material: standard DIP socket construction (material specifics not stated in listing). Performance: designed for reliable insertion and retention of DIP ICs with soldered connections on PCB. Use cases and applications Prototyping and development: assemble test boards with DIP ICs, swap ICs quickly during iterative testing, and compare different ICs without repeated soldering. Board and restoration: damaged or worn sockets on vintage or repaired PCBs to restore functionality or extend board life. Education and lab work: teach and practice DIP IC handling, socketing, and circuit testing with a readytouse assortment of socket sizes. What you get 66 sockets in assorted DIP sizes (6, 8, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, 28 pin) in a single lot, suitable for a variety of DIP ICs and projects. Usage tips Verify the IC pin count and orientation before insertion to ensure correct alignment with the socket. Solder the sockets to the PCB according to standard practice, then insert DIP ICs for testing and replacement tasks. Store unused sockets in a clean, dry environment to preserve contact integrity for repeated use.
