This is a pack of 10 pieces of 14-pin DIP/DIL IC sockets, 2.54 mm (0.1") pitch, soldering version. The sockets have a double-row design with flat straight pins for reliable PCB mounting and easy installation. Key benefits - Safe IC handling: allows insertion and removal of DIP ICs without stressing the IC leads, protecting both the IC and the board. - Reusable and adaptable: ideal for prototyping, testing different ICs, and quick replacements during maintenance. - Reliable solder connection: designed for a secure, long-lasting connection to the PCB with standard 0.1" pitch. Specifications - Product name: 14 Pin DIP/DIL IC Socket - Pin pitch: 2.54 mm - Configuration: double-row, 14 pins total - Dimensions: 10 x 18 x 8 mm (L x W x D) - Compatibility: standard DIP-14 ICs and DIL-14 packages - Mounting: soldering version for permanent PCB installation Use scenarios - Prototyping and evaluation: mount 14-pin DIP ICs on a custom PCB for testing without soldering the ICs themselves. - Repair and upgrade: replace or swap DIP-14 devices in vintage or embedded equipment with a reliable socket. - Education and labs: teach DIP IC handling, insertion/removal, and PCB soldering techniques in a classroom or workshop.
