Product Description (Detailed):

Elevate your circuit design and prototyping with our high-quality 40 Pin DIP IC Socket Base, an essential component for easily integrating and protecting your valuable Integrated Circuits. Designed specifically for Dual In-line Package (DIP) ICs with 40 pins, this socket base offers a secure and convenient alternative to direct soldering, which is particularly beneficial for sensitive components or during the development phase where frequent IC removal and insertion may be required.

The 40 Pin DIP IC Socket Base features a standard 2.54mm (0.1 inch) pin pitch, making it universally compatible with most breadboards, perfboards, and custom PCBs. It typically accommodates DIP ICs with a 0.6-inch (15.24mm) row spacing, commonly found in microcontrollers like the ATmega32, AT89C51/52 series, or various logic ICs. Constructed from durable, heat-resistant plastic, the socket protects your ICs from potential heat damage during soldering and simplifies troubleshooting or upgrading components without the need for desoldering. Each socket includes reliable tin-plated copper alloy contacts that ensure a stable and low-resistance electrical connection. The molded notch on one end provides clear orientation for correct IC insertion, preventing accidental reverse polarity. Ideal for hobbyists, students, and professional engineers, this 40 Pin DIP IC Socket Base is an indispensable tool for robotics, embedded systems, educational kits, and any project demanding flexibility and protection for 40-pin ICs. Its robust design allows for repeated insertions and removals, enhancing the longevity of your ICs and streamlining your development workflow.

The 40-Pin IC Socket Base is a reliable DIP (Dual In-Line Package) socket, designed to securely hold 40-pin integrated circuits. It allows for easy insertion and removal of ICs without soldering them directly onto a PCB, protecting sensitive components from heat damage during assembly or repair.

Widely used with microcontrollers like PIC16F877A, ATmega32, ATmega16, 8051, and Z80, this socket base is an essential component for development boards, trainer kits, and circuit prototyping.

It features precision-molded plastic housing and gold-plated or tin-plated spring contacts for solid electrical connectivity.
