The 20-Pin DIP IC Socket Base is a must-have component for electronics engineers, hobbyists, and professionals working with integrated circuits. Designed to hold standard 28-pin dual in-line package (DIP) ICs securely, this socket base allows easy insertion and removal without soldering directly to the chip—protecting it from heat damage and simplifying upgrades or replacements.

Crafted with durable thermoplastic housing and high-conductivity tin or gold-plated contacts (depending on model), this IC socket ensures reliable electrical connections and excellent mechanical stability. Compatible with breadboards, PCBs, and prototyping boards, it’s widely used in microcontroller projects, Arduino builds, and circuit testing.

Features:

• 20-Pin DIP Socket: Designed for standard 20-pin dual in-line ICs (spacing: 2.54mm pitch).

• IC Protection: Prevents direct soldering on ICs, reducing risk of heat damage or pin bending.

• Reliable Contacts: Precision-machined or stamped contacts offer strong retention and stable electrical performance.

• Solderable Pins: Easily mounts onto PCBs with through-hole soldering for a firm, long-lasting hold.

• Wide Compatibility: Ideal for microcontrollers, EEPROMs, logic ICs, and other 28-pin DIP components.
