Glarks 122pcs 2.54mm Pitch DIP IC Socket Kit – 6 to 40 Pin Assortment

Description

Product Overview

The Glarks 122‑piece DIP IC socket kit is engineered for professionals and hobbyists who demand precision and durability in their electronic assemblies. Each socket features a 2.54mm (0.1 inch) pitch, double‑row configuration, and is available in eight pin counts: 6, 8, 14, 16, 18, 24, 28, and 40. The sockets are constructed from high‑temperature‑resistant insulated plastic that protects the circuitry while providing a firm grip for the metal pins. The pins themselves are forged from hardened alloy, offering resistance to bending and breakage even after repeated insertions and removals. Packaged in a compact, reusable plastic storage box, the assortment remains organized, reducing the risk of lost components and streamlining workflow on the bench.

Usage

These sockets excel in a variety of environments. In laboratory settings, they serve as reliable test points for prototype boards, allowing engineers to quickly swap ICs without soldering. In automotive repair, the robust construction tolerates vibration and temperature fluctuations, making them suitable for wiring harnesses and control modules. Makers building Arduino or Raspberry Pi shields benefit from the precise 2.54mm spacing, which aligns perfectly with standard breadboard layouts. The kit also supports educational purposes, giving students hands‑on experience with component mounting and circuit debugging. Whether you are assembling a high‑frequency communication board or a simple LED driver, the Glarks sockets provide a consistent, low‑resistance connection.

FAQ

What is the maximum current rating for each pin?

Each pin is rated for up to 0.5 A continuous current, which is sufficient for most low‑power digital and analog ICs used in prototyping.

Can these sockets be soldered onto a PCB for permanent installation?

Yes, the sockets are designed for both through‑hole soldering and removable applications. When soldered, they provide a solid mechanical and electrical connection.

Are the sockets compatible with surface‑mount devices (SMD) that have a 2.54mm pitch?

While primarily intended for DIP packages, the 2.54mm spacing also matches many SMD footprints, allowing them to be used as adapters for certain SMD components.

How should I store the kit to maintain its quality?

Keep the kit in its original plastic box, stored in a dry, temperature‑controlled environment. The box’s anti‑static lining helps protect the pins from oxidation.

What warranty does Glarks provide for this product?

Glarks offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If you encounter any issues, contact their support team for a replacement or refund.
