IC Socket for 16-pin 0.3" Chips - Pack of 3

An IC (Integrated Circuit) socket allows you to insert and remove chips easily from an assembled kit or project.

This item contains 3 of the 16 pin 0.3" wide version. Best used with chips that have 16 pins (2x8) and have 0.3" pin spacing.

These are often used for soldering into a Perma Proto or PCB so that you can replace and swap chips easily. What's nice about IC sockets is that they are the same pin spacing and size so you don't have to redesign the board! For example, the socket can be used with Adafruit Perma-Proto Breadboard or any solderable PCB or protoboard. Not recommended for solderless breadboards, as the pins are not long enough.

• Compatible with solderable prototypes like Perma-Proto
• Dimensions: 10mm x 20mm x 8mm (0.4" x 0.8" x 0.3")
