Jameco Valuepro 6100-1X14-R DIP Socket Single Line 14 Pin 0.100 Pitch

Description

Product Overview

The Jameco Valuepro 6100-1X14-R DIP socket is engineered for precision and reliability in a compact single-line form factor. Featuring a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch and 14 gold-plated pins, this socket provides consistent electrical contact and mechanical stability for a wide range of dual‑in‑line package (DIP) components. The lead length of 0.160 inch (4.06 mm) offers ample room for soldering while maintaining a low profile that fits tightly on printed circuit boards (PCBs). Constructed from high‑quality, lead‑free alloy, the socket meets RoHS compliance and delivers long‑term performance even under repeated insertion cycles. Packaged in a convenient set of ten units, it supplies sufficient inventory for prototype runs, small‑scale production, and spare part needs.

Usage

This socket excels in environments where rapid development and testing are essential. Engineers and hobbyists alike use it for building development boards, evaluating new IC designs, and creating educational kits. Its robust construction makes it suitable for laboratory benches, field repair kits, and low‑volume manufacturing lines where durability and ease of assembly are paramount. The 14‑pin configuration aligns with common microcontrollers, memory chips, and analog devices, enabling seamless integration into a variety of electronic projects ranging from Arduino shields to custom sensor modules.

FAQ

What PCB thickness can this socket accommodate?

The socket is designed for standard 1.6 mm FR‑4 boards but can also be used on thinner substrates down to 0.8 mm with careful alignment.

Is this socket compatible with surface‑mount technology (SMT) boards?

While primarily a through‑hole component, the socket can be mounted on SMT boards using appropriate through‑hole pads and soldering techniques.

How many insertion cycles can the socket endure?

Jameco tests each socket for at least 100 insertion/removal cycles, ensuring durability for repeated prototyping and testing.

Can I use this socket for high‑frequency applications?

For most low‑to‑moderate frequency designs the socket performs well; however, for very high‑frequency circuits consider a specialized high‑speed socket.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The socket is covered by Jameco’s standard one‑year limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
