Uxcell DIP IC Socket 8-Pin Dual Row 2.54mm Pitch a15080400ux1059 15pcs

Description

Product Overview

The Uxcell 8‑pin DIP IC socket is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of both hobbyist and professional electronics environments. Featuring a dual‑row layout with a precise 2.54 mm (0.1 in) pitch, the socket ensures accurate alignment with standard DIP integrated circuits. The housing is constructed from high‑impact plastic that resists cracking under thermal stress, while the internal metal contacts are plated for excellent conductivity and long‑term reliability. Each socket measures approximately 10 mm × 10 mm × 8 mm, providing ample space for component leads while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for dense circuit boards. The package includes 15 identical sockets, allowing designers to stock essential inventory for rapid prototyping, small‑batch production, or repair work. With a net weight of just 12 g per set, the sockets are lightweight yet robust, making them ideal for handheld testing rigs and portable development kits.

Usage

These DIP sockets excel in a variety of applications. In educational settings, they provide students with a reusable interface for learning soldering techniques and circuit design without the risk of damaging expensive ICs. In research laboratories, the sockets enable quick swapping of experimental chips, facilitating iterative testing cycles. For small‑scale manufacturers, the sockets serve as a cost‑effective solution for assembling prototype boards that may later transition to surface‑mount technology. The 8‑pin configuration is compatible with a wide range of common integrated circuits, including timers, voltage regulators, and small microcontrollers. The sockets can be used on both single‑sided and double‑sided printed circuit boards, and they tolerate a soldering temperature range up to 260 °C, ensuring compatibility with standard reflow and wave soldering processes. Whether you are building a hobbyist Arduino shield, a custom sensor module, or a professional embedded system, these sockets provide a reliable mechanical and electrical connection.

FAQ

What is the maximum soldering temperature for these sockets?

The sockets are rated for soldering temperatures up to 260 °C, making them suitable for both reflow and wave soldering processes without degrading the plastic housing.

Can these sockets be used on double‑sided PCBs?

Yes, the low‑profile design allows installation on both sides of a double‑sided board, and the pins are long enough to penetrate the board thickness while maintaining a secure connection.

Are the metal contacts compatible with lead‑free solder?

Absolutely. The gold‑plated contacts are designed to work with lead‑free solder alloys, providing consistent wetting and strong joint formation.

How many times can a single socket be reused?

When handled properly, each socket can be inserted and removed multiple times. The robust plastic housing and resilient contacts are engineered for repeated use in prototyping and testing environments.

Do you offer bulk pricing for larger orders?

Yes, Uxcell provides volume discounts for larger quantities. Please contact our sales team with your required order size to receive a customized quote.
