Detailed Description:

The 28-pin IC base socket is a dual-in-line (DIP) socket designed for securely holding 28-pin integrated circuits (ICs), especially ATmega328P and similar microcontrollers. This component allows for easy insertion and removal of ICs without soldering directly to the board, which protects both the IC and the PCB during prototyping, testing, or maintenance.

The socket is made from high-temperature-resistant plastic and tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts, ensuring long life and firm connectivity. It fits perfectly into standard DIP footprints on PCBs and breadboards.

Key Features:

• 28-pin dual inline configuration (DIP)

• Compatible with ATmega328P and other DIP-28 ICs

• Tin-plated contacts for strong electrical connection

• Prevents overheating or IC damage during soldering

• Fits standard 2.54mm pitch PCBs and breadboards

• Durable thermoplastic housing

• Enables easy IC replacement or upgrading

• Commonly used in Arduino clones and embedded systems

Technical Specifications:

How to Use:

1. Solder the socket pins onto a PCB or insert into a breadboard

2. Insert the DIP-28 IC (e.g., ATmega328P) carefully into the socket

3. Ensure pin 1 alignment (notch or dot facing left-top corner)

4. Replace or remove IC easily for testing or upgrading

Applications:

• Arduino UNO/Nano compatible boards

• Prototyping with ATmega, EEPROMs, logic ICs

• DIY embedded systems and trainers

• Educational kits and electronics labs

• Circuit repair and IC replacement projects

Package Includes:

• 1 × 28-Pin IC Base Socket (DIP Type)
