Product Overview:

The Vetco 8-Pin IC Socket with 2.54mm (0.1") pin spacing is a reliable and durable socket engineered for standard 8-pin Dual In-Line Package (DIP) integrated circuits. Designed with a 7.62mm (0.3") row spacing and dual-wipe contacts, this socket ensures optimal mechanical retention and long-lasting electrical conductivity. It features a through-hole mounting configuration for strong PCB integration and is ideal for prototyping, repair work, and applications where ICs require frequent replacement or upgrades.

Key Features:

• Standard DIP-8 Compatibility: Fits 8-pin DIP ICs with 2.54mm pitch and 7.62mm row spacing.

• Dual-Wipe Contact System: Enhances conductivity and mechanical grip on IC pins.

• Through-Hole Design: Ensures a strong, soldered connection to PCBs.

• Robust Materials: High-temp thermoplastic body and tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts.

• Reusable Socket: Perfect for test environments, development boards, and socketed IC replacements.
