COST PER PIECE
The 20-Pin IC Socket is specifically tailored to accommodate 20-pin integrated circuits (ICs), typically those packaged in a dual in-line package (DIP) format. This socket is a crucial component in electronic circuitry, especially during the phases of prototyping, testing, and debugging. It enables the straightforward insertion and removal of ICs, which is particularly advantageous in avoiding the necessity of soldering the chip directly onto the printed circuit board (PCB). This approach not only safeguards the IC from potential thermal damage during the soldering process but also facilitates effortless component swapping or upgrading. The socket provides stable and reliable electrical connections and is widely employed in various electronic applications, encompassing both digital and analog circuits. Its construction often includes features aimed at ensuring longevity and effective connectivity, such as precision contacts and a robust locking mechanism to securely accommodate the IC.
