- 8 mm row spacing matches common layouts
- Plastic and metal construction for secure mounting
15-piece 8-pin DIP IC socket kit
This set supplies fifteen solder-type sockets with dual-row 8-pin layouts for integrated circuit mounting. The connectors suit hobbyists, repair technicians and prototype builders who need removable IC placement on printed circuit boards. Each socket accepts standard 0.31-inch row spacing devices. The pack quantity supports multiple board revisions or small production runs.
Low-profile through-hole mounting
Pins measure 0.12 inches in length and sit on a 0.31-inch row pitch, keeping the installed height close to the board surface. The straight-pin geometry allows straightforward hand soldering without specialised tooling. Plastic bodies and metal contacts withstand normal soldering temperatures for reliable joints. No active cooling or power considerations apply to these passive components.
Black plastic bodies with silver contacts
Each socket measures approximately 0.4 inches square in plan view, fitting tight board layouts. The dual-row pin arrangement matches common 8-pin DIP footprints for drop-in compatibility. Solder-type terminals require through-hole pads on the PCB for mechanical retention. Buyers needing surface-mount or higher pin-count sockets should select a different connector style.

Questions about this item
How do I install these 15 sockets on a PCB with .31 row spacing?
Align the flat straight pins with the board holes matching the .31 inch row-to-row distance, then solder each of the eight pins per socket; the step often missed is checking pin alignment before the solder cools.
Will the plastic bodies of these 8-pin connectors degrade after repeated heating?
The black plastic housings withstand normal soldering heat, but repeated rework cycles can make them brittle; plan to replace any socket that shows discolouration or cracked bodies.
How much current can each 3mm pin carry continuously?
Each .12 inch pin is rated for typical low-signal loads; sustained power above a few hundred milliamps per pin will cause noticeable heating first.
